The Anambra government has launched the rollout of Lenacapavir (LEN PrEP), a long-acting injectable drug designed to prevent HIV infection and reduce new cases among vulnerable groups and high-risk communities.
Speaking at the launch in Awka, the Commissioner for Health, Afam Obidike, described the programme as a critical intervention in the fight against HIV/AIDS.
Mr Obidike said prevention remained one of the strongest tools in combating HIV transmission.
He warned against diversion or commercialisation of the medication, stressing that it was strictly for public health use.
“We appreciate Chukwuma Soludo for supporting healthcare reforms and expanding access to lifesaving medical services in the state.
