RSUTH and KNCV Launch Free Tuberculosis Treatment in Rivers State

The Rivers State University Teaching Hospital (RSUTH), led by Prof. Chizindu Alikor, has partnered with the KNCV Tuberculosis Foundation to offer free TB treatment on its Port Harcourt campus. Dr. Godwin Iche, RSUTH’s Community Health lead, spoke on Silver Bird Radio and urged anyone with symptoms—persistent cough, chest pain, night sweats, weight loss or fatigue—to come forward for screening. He reminded listeners that tuberculosis is serious but curable when detected and treated early. This initiative reflects RSUTH’s commitment to improving public health and reducing the spread of TB in Rivers State. All services, including testing, counselling and medication, are provided at no cost to patients.
