Infant Mortality: Go For Test Before Marriage, Health Commissioner Advises Intending Couples
Ogun State Commissioner for Health, Dr. Tomi Coker, has advised intending couples to go for screening to determine their blood status before tying the knots to guide against having children with sickle cell in the future.
In her goodwill message, the Workshop facilitator and a Consultant Haematologist, Professor Norah Akinola, described the programme as a landmark event in South-West Nigeria that will end the tears of many mothers and families, appreciating the Ogun State government for prioritizing the health of the citizens.
