The story of a physically challenged youth, Ezema Camillius moved everyone to tears as tears rolled down his cheeks while speaking with South East voice. “My mother have been sick but because we don’t have money to take her to the hospital. Today, she was attended to free of charge.”Succor and solace came to him and his mother who has been very ill for a long time, but had no funds to get medical attention in a hospital.
The outreach which saw over 1,000 beneficiaries was organised to honour the Dean, Medical College, ESUTH, Prof. Frank Ezugwu who hails from Opi community for his outstanding contributions in the College of medicine, the final year students organised the outreach. “We as a class, tasked ourselves on bettering the society and leave a lasting improvement on lives. We discovered that a good number of people are ignorant of their health status, and many who do, fail to seek the appropriate medical attention.
Those picked were referred for free medical surgery in the Enugu state university teaching hospital, and motivated enough to go for the referral service, while their relatives will be tested for signs of the ailments, too.
