Philantropist Offers Free Healthcare To 1,500 Ilorin Residents

Date: 2024-01-16

An Abuja-based Lawyer and philanthropist, Mr Mohammed Adelodun, on Monday offered free medical outreach to 1,500 residents of Ilorin.

The beneficiaries were drawn from Ajikobi Ward, Ilorin West Local Government Area and Centre-Igboro, Balogun-Fulani Ward, Ilorin South LGA of Kwara.

Speaking on the sidelines of the outreach, Adelodun described the gesture as a medical palliative to assist the poor and least privileged in the society who were unable to access medical services.

He noted that it was an opportunity for the people to have access to affordable medical services.

“It is a sole sponsorship. But I have been enjoying support from my family and friends, who are providing financial, physical and moral support to achieve the desired objective of assisting our people. I decided to embark on this medical outreach to assist people, especially the least privileged who do not have access to medical healthcare due to financial constraints,” he said.

According to him, the healthcare workers decided to volunteer and also support in the humanitarian gesture to the people.

Adelodun disclosed that drugs worth millions of Naira were distributed to the people, while those with critical conditions were referred to the teaching hospital with the intention of subsidising their medical bills.

“This is the fifth edition of the medical outreach. We started it before COVID-19 to alleviate the suffering of our people, and it has been successful so far.

“Many people have benefited from it annually, and it will be a continuous exercise, God willing,” he said.

The Medical Team Leader, Dr Monsur Babaita, explained that the team comprised doctors, pharmacists and nurses, who attended to the people of the area during the two-day outreach.

He said the health intervention included screening, prescription and dispensing of free drugs to patients, most of whom could not afford prescribed drugs.

According to him, some of the common ailments of the patients includes hypertension, diabetes mellitus, malaria, respiratory tract infections, urogenital infections, skin infection and musculoskeletal pain.

The expert explained that free drugs were also dispensed to the patients and referrals made for other patients.

Babaita, who lamented the rate at which people grappled with ailments, called on other well meaning Nigerians to support such initiative and humanitarian gestures to bring succour to the indigents.
