Dr. Gerald Chinasa, a medical professional at the outreach, emphasized that the initiative aimed not only to provide treatment but also to educate the community about health issues. He acknowledged the difficulty of tracking medical records in such a general setting and recommended that participants follow up with local facilities for ongoing care.

President of HAF, Mr. Anegbode Odion, highlighted the outreach’s goal of bridging the gap between the community and the government, particularly in the context of high inflation making healthcare more challenging. The program, which ran from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., aimed to assist 800 to 1,000 people, with over 300 patients served by 11 a.m.

Mr. Kevin Ebhojie, Chairman of the Board of Trustees at HAF, noted that the organization has been dedicated to improving healthcare and education in communities for nearly eight years. Prince Ekundayo Sikiru, Chairman of the Community Development Association, expressed his appreciation for the outreach, calling it a first for Eputu and praising the positive impact of the program on the community.
