Hello My Brother Walakira Nyanzi and the entire family of Ultimate Media, hope you are fine today. Let me first congratulate you for the story you did recently on the hepatitis B vaccine. May God bless you! Like I told some of you on phone, I am an advocate of hepatitis B in Africa and the founder of an NGO in Liberia by name ABSOLUTE HEALTH FOUNDATION and I am currently doing a project on hepatitis B in Liberia.
I am also the CEO of ABSOLUTE HEALTH SERVICES in Ghana and I am a Ghanaian.
Due to the researches and projects I am doing in hepatitis B, I have linked up with companies who manufacture the hepatitis B vaccine to reduce the price and they are also giving a promotional package of FREE HEPATITIS B STRIPS for testing of the hepatitis B virus depending on the quantity a particular country or company buys. For example if you buy 1,000,000(one million) doses of the vaccine you will get about 100,000 or 200,000 free hepatitis B strips.
So the more you buy the vaccines, the more strips you get. This is to encourage people to go for screening and know their status and also to get the vaccine at a cheap price. I have been in contact with Uganda’s permanent health secretary and other doctors in Uganda to see how they can make it possible to get some of these vaccines since the virus is fast spreading in your country.
President Yoweri Museveni advocated for mass immunization, screening and sensitization in April this year. Well, as journalists, I hope you can reach out to the Government, health minister Dr Christine Andoa and other big pharmacy shops in Uganda to get the opportunity to buy these vaccines to so people can buy it cheaper as compared to the 40,000 UGX being sold by some of them.
The vaccines I am talking about are WHO standard vaccines used all over the world. Each dose is 9,000 UGX for children and 20,000 UGX for adults. All these prices come with free hepatitis B strips. There are so many strategies to fight the infection and my campaign brings massive number who will call for the vaccines. Thank you very much and try and reply to this mail.
