The deputy chairman of NMA in the state, Dr Adedayo Aderibigbe said the healthcare interventions is an annual event through which the association gives back to the society.

Aderibigbe added that the NMA members, consisting of both physicians and surgeons offered free services to the less privileged who have no access to healthcare due to financial constraints.

He said that about 19 surgeries were performed for patients suffering from illnesses such as hernia, glaucoma and biopsy, among others.

“All surgical cases that cannot be handled at the health centre, will be referred to the nearest hospitals and general hospitals where they can get affordable healthcare. Some of the patients may be referred to the University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital (UITH),” he said.

In his remark, Dr Olufemi Abdulrahaman, the officer in charge of the Comprehensive Health Centre, affiliated to the UITH said the outreach has ensured a large influx of people from the community and the environs with various health challenges. He added that some people were also treated for hypertension, diabetes, and malaria among others.

A beneficiary, Mr Emmanuel Sunday, who underwent a surgery due to shrapnel wounds commended the efforts of the association. He said that he did not have the financial means to undergo the surgery until the intervention of the doctors.
