She said, “We are glad with the huge success recorded at the just-concluded medical outreach organised by the government for residents of Esan West LGA.
“The outreach is part of the government’s efforts to enhance the health and wellbeing of all citizens, ensuring that quality and efficient healthcare services get to the grassroots and underserved areas in the state. “We are pleased with the turnout of both residents and volunteers. While we had over 200 volunteers and other health professionals, over 2000 clients were served, resulting in over 3,500 patient encounters, as most patients had at least two clinical screening and/or treatment encounters.
“Free eyeglasses and medicines were dispensed; there were family planning services with the distribution of free FP commodities; tests for Hepatitis A, B, and C as well as breast and cervical cancer screening—some cases were detected, among others. “We are confident that this outreach aimed at further raising awareness on the need for constant medical checkups among residents will complement the government’s efforts at ensuring a resilient healthcare system for quality and efficient healthcare delivery.”All rights reserved.
