In the heart of Northeast Nigeria, the Centre for HIV/AIDS and STD Research (CHISTRE) is at the forefront of battling viral epidemics that threaten the region’s health. Our ongoing initiatives focus on comprehensive outreach, treatment, and education programs, addressing critical needs in the community.
CHISTRE’s multifaceted approach involves conducting extensive awareness campaigns about HIV/AIDS and other sexually transmitted infections. These campaigns are tailored to educate the local population about prevention, testing, and treatment options, significantly reducing stigma and misinformation.
A key component of our work is the dedicated treatment and management of Hepatitis B, a prevalent issue in the Northeast. We have identified a significant number of individuals who are reactive to Hepatitis B and urgently require medical intervention. Our efforts will include providing free or subsidized antiviral treatments if we find partner to support the treatments, facilitating regular health check-ups, and offering continuous support to patients through our network of healthcare professionals.
To enhance our impact, CHISTRE partners with local health authorities and international organizations, leveraging resources and expertise to ensure that our interventions are sustainable and effective. Our data-driven strategies allow us to monitor progress and adapt our programs to meet emerging challenges.
We are seeking partnerships with global health funders to expand our capacity and reach. Your support will enable us to procure essential medical supplies, enhance our healthcare infrastructure, and train more healthcare workers, ultimately saving lives and fostering a healthier future for the Northeast.
Join us in this vital mission. Together, we can transform lives and build a resilient community capable of overcoming the threats posed by viral infections.
