LAGOS SEPTEMBER 29TH (URHOBOTODAY)-The Office of Senator Ede Dafinone, representing Delta Central Senatorial District, in collaboration with the National Health Fellows, announces the launch of the Delta Central Diabetes Sensitization and Testing Medical Outreach, scheduled to hold from 1st – 18th October, 2025 across all eight Local Government Areas in the district.

Diabetes remains one of the fastest-growing health challenges in Nigeria, with many cases going undetected until complications such as kidney failure, blindness, stroke, or even death arise. Unfortunately, access to routine testing and preventive care remains limited for many residents in Delta Central.

This outreach programme is therefore designed to bring free diabetes testing, sensitization, and community education directly to the people, empowering them with knowledge and early detection strategies. Themed “Come Check Your Sugar Level O!”, the initiative emphasizes prevention, lifestyle modification, and community awareness as critical tools in reducing the burden of diabetes.
