A non-governmental organisation (NGO), Lawyers Alert in conjunction with Media Health Rights, has urged the Akwa Ibom State government to integrate TB, HIV and malaria services into a single comprehensive care framework.
It also said that this would improve resource utilisation and ensure holistic care for patients with co-existing conditions.
The group expressed worry over the high HIV prevalence rate of over 5 percent of the population in Akwa Ibom State.
