Dr. El-lmam also used 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 created by Mallam AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, CON, the executive governor of the state, at our doorsteps.
Speaking to our media crew, one of the surgeons in the team, who is also a Deputy Director for Medical Services and Training in the Ministry of Health, Dr. Stephen Arigidi, said 'today's outreach was so special that we were able to integrate a woman who needed an emergency ceasarean section into the free health care opportunity provided by our Governor'.
The woman, name withheld, was successfully delivered of a bouncing baby boy by the visiting free health team through the timely intervention for a ceasarean section without the unprepared woman paying any fee.
