Free Hepatitis B Screening: Protecting Sierra Leone Through Preventive Healthcare

 Hepatitis B is a serious health concern in Sierra Leone, but early detection and prevention can make a significant difference. At CitiGlobe Pharmacies, we are proud to offer free Hepatitis B screening as part of our commitment to improving public health.

 

  • Why Hepatitis B Screening is Important: Hepatitis B is often asymptomatic until it reaches an advanced stage, which makes early screening critical. By offering free screenings, we help individuals detect the virus early, allowing for timely intervention and treatment.

  • Our Screening Process: At CitiGlobe Pharmacies, our in-house healthcare professionals use rapid diagnostic testing to provide quick and accurate results. This ensures that individuals can receive their diagnosis within minutes, without the need for invasive procedures.

  • Our Impact: To date, we have screened thousands of Sierra Leoneans, raising awareness about Hepatitis B and helping to prevent the spread of this life-threatening disease. Our goal is to continue expanding our reach through collaboration with local communities.
