The Department of Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT) Surgery at the RSUTH Annex Hospital has commemorated World Hearing Day 2026 with a series of public awareness campaigns and free hearing screening for children in
Rivers State.
The event, which held from March 3 to March 6, aimed at educating the public on proper ear care and the importance of early detection of hearing problems among children.
Speaking during the programme, the Head of the ENT Department, Prof. Ureh Annabel Oparaodu, who led the initiative, emphasized that early hearing checks are essential for children’s speech development, learning ability, and overall well-being.
The activities were organized under the theme “From Communities to Classroom: Hearing Care for Every Child,” highlighting the need for increased awareness and accessible hearing care services for children both at home and in schools.
As part of the commemoration, free hearing screening was provided for children between the ages of 0 and 18 years, encouraging parents and caregivers to take advantage of early hearing assessments to prevent long-term complications.
The department also expressed appreciation to the Chief Medical Director of RSUTH, Prof. Chizindu Alikor, for his continuous support and commitment to improving healthcare services in the hospital.
The free screening exercise attracted many families across the state, reinforcing the hospital’s commitment to improving ear health and promoting better hearing care for children in Rivers State.

Hi My name is Mona. I just want to share my experience with the world on how I got my love back and saved my marriage… I was married for 7 years with 4 kids and we lived happily until things started getting ugly and we had fights and arguments almost every time… it got worse at a point that he filed for divorce… I tried my best to make him change his mind & stay with me cause I loved him with all my heart and didn’t want to lose him but everything just didn’t work out… he moved out of the house and still went ahead to file for divorce… I pleaded and tried everything but still nothing worked. The breakthrough came when someone introduced me to this wonderful, great spell caster Dr Zuma, who eventually helped me out… I have never been a fan of things like this but just decided to try reluctantly cause I was desperate and left with no choice… He did special prayers and cast a love spell on him. Within 24hours he called me and was sorry for all the emotional trauma he had cost me, he moved back to the house and we continue to live happily, the kids are happy too and we are expecting our fourth child… I have introduced him to a lot of couples with relationship problems across the world and they have had good news… Just thought I should share my experience cause I strongly believe someone out there needs it… You can contact him on spiritualherbalisthealing@gmail.com
