How St. Mercies Healing Hands Hospital Is Transforming HIV Response in Rural Ogoniland

As Nigeria marks the 2025 World AIDS Day with the theme “Overcoming Disruption, Transforming the HIV Response”, the Medical Director of St. Mercies Healing Hands Hospital, Dr. Baribefii Paagolah Nwizia, is raising crucial awareness about the realities of HIV in rural Rivers State, particularly in Bori and the wider Ogoni communities.

In an exclusive interview, Dr. Nwizia revealed that HIV remains a daily medical challenge in Rivers, with new cases recorded almost every day. According to him, the prevalence of the virus in the rural communities demands consistent awareness, community education and continuous access to treatment.

“HIV is not rare here. In fact, you can hardly go a day at the hospital without seeing someone who is infected,” Dr. Nwizia said. “We must amplify awareness, sensitize our people and use every available means to encourage treatment.”

He explained that recent advances in HIV treatment have brought significant relief to patients. Newer antiretroviral drugs come with fewer side effects compared to older medications that caused nightmares and severe reactions, leading many patients to abandon therapy. “The new drugs are easier to tolerate. Patients take them like normal medication and no longer suffer the terrible side effects we used to see. They are also more available across health facilities, and importantly, they are free,” he noted.

Despite these improvements, Dr. Nwizia warned that dangerous misconceptions and superstitions continue to undermine treatment in rural Ogoniland. Many patients still interpret HIV as a death sentence or attribute symptoms to witchcraft or spiritual attacks. He revealed that some even abandon their medication after being misled by self-acclaimed prophets. “We have seen patients told to stop taking their drugs because the problem is spiritual.

World Diabetes Day: “Stop Blaming Witchcraft — Diabetes Is a Medical Reality, Not a Spiritual Attack,” Dr. Nwizia Educates Nigerians

Ogoni medical expert and Medical Director of St. Mercies Healing Hands Hospital, Bori, Dr. Baribefii Paagolah Nwizia, has called on Nigerians to stop attributing diabetes to witchcraft or spiritual attacks, insisting that the disease is a scientific medical condition that requires proper diagnosis and management.

Speaking during an interview to mark World Diabetes Day 2025, Dr. Nwizia said the widespread belief that diabetes is caused by curses or spiritual manipulation remains one of the biggest barriers to early treatment.
“People must stop blaming witchcraft. Diabetes is not a spiritual attack. It affects people all over the world, including children, adults, and pregnant women. It is a medical reality, not juju,” he said.

He explained that delayed hospital visits caused by fear, superstition, or reliance on spiritual centers—often lead to dangerous complications such as foot ulcers, blindness, kidney failure, and stroke. “Many people come to the hospital only when complications have already set in. Early testing could have prevented most of these cases,” he added.

Dr. Nwizia stressed that diabetes is not a death sentence, noting that with proper diet, exercise, medication, and consistent medical care, patients can live long, healthy lives. He urged Nigerians to watch for symptoms such as frequent urination, constant thirst, excessive hunger, unexplained weight loss, and weakness, and to seek medical help promptly.

He further called on government and community leaders to intensify awareness campaigns, especially in rural areas where misconceptions are strongest. “The real enemy is ignorance,” he concluded, urging Nigerians to embrace medical knowledge rather than myths.
