Dr. El-lmam also seized the opportunity to call on members of the public who require interventions for surgically amenable ailments like hernia, lipomas, cataract and other related diseases to avail themselves of this great opportunity which the administration of Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, CON, brought to them on a platter of gold.
At the press session, one of the Surgeons and Deputy Director of Medical Services and Training in Kwara State Ministry of Health, Dr. Stephen Arigidi, affirmed that "today's outreach was so special that we were able to integrate a woman who needed an emergency ceazarean section into the free health care opportunity provided by our amiable Governor AbdulRazaq."
The woman, name withheld, was successfully delivered of a baby boy by the free health Team, through the timely intervention for a ceasarean section without the woman paying a dime.
The Team was also able to provide free health care services as planned to people from all the twelve wards in Offa LGA, who had trooped to the hospital to get medical consultations and appropriate drugs for their respective ailments like hypertension, diabetes and specific care to resolve problems associated with eye sight, reading glasses or surgical care for relevant conditions.
