Describing Diabetes as a growing yet often overlooked health crisis that continues to claim lives, especially in underserved communities where access to routine screenings and preventive healthcare is limited.

He said Rotary Sapphire will, through Strategic Community Outreach, offer free screenings, educational campaigns, and interactive health sessions to raise awareness about the risk factors and early signs of diabetes.

He also said they would partner with local healthcare providers to provide a sustainable support system for those diagnosed with Diabetes.

Oramah thanked the immediate past President Barr. Oby Onwukeme and her team for their commendable leadership and dedicated service, adding that his team’s goal for the rotary year was not just for continuity, but for bold action that moves Nigeria closer to a hepatitis-free future.
