Health professionals took participants through the proper use of the OraQuick HIV Self-Test Kit, demonstrating how to conduct the test, interpret the results, and access post-test counselling, confirmatory testing, and treatment services where necessary.
The initiative forms part of the Assembly's contribution to Ghana's national HIV response and aligns with the UNAIDS 95-95-95 Fast-Track Targets aimed at ending HIV as a public health threat.
The Krowor Municipal Assembly expressed appreciation to the Government for providing free OraQuick HIV Self-Test Kits, noting that the initiative has expanded access to confidential HIV testing, promoted early diagnosis, and strengthened linkage to treatment and care services within the municipality.
The Assembly reaffirmed its commitment to working with key stakeholders to improve public health through sustained education, preventive interventions, and increased access to essential health services.
