Poised to help as many Lagos residents as possible in taking care of their different health challenges, the Onome Omobolaji Obada Foundation
last week partnered with Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu , to stage a one-week medical outreach at the Military Hospital, Ikoyi, Lagos.
“We brought the outreach to Lagos at the governor’s behest and because we know people often tend to forget about their health because of the busy lifestyle here. This is the third edition but the first time in Lagos.” I’m calling on well-meaning Nigerians to take up different projects across board to help one another, the future is about collaboration,” he said. Project coordinator, Chidi Nwakpa, said the turnout was impressive. “This outreach has been very impactful because we saw people battling health issues for years but couldn’t do anything about it because of funds. People came from as far as Delta, Ibadan and Osun states to be here, it humbled us so much,” he said.
Another beneficiary, Rukayat Yakub who also underwent fibroid removal, said she had been battling with the ailment for over two years with no help. A mother of four, she said they struggled to get by and couldn’t afford hospital visits but when the pain became unbearable.” She thanked Lagos State governor and the foundation for coming to her aid as well as other beneficiaries.Before flagging, please keep in mind that Disqus does not moderate communities.
