Over 1,500 Residents Recieve Free Medical Outreach In Ilorin

Date: 2024-01-17

No fewer than 1,500 residents of Ajikobi Ward of Ilorin West Local Government Area and Centre Igboro of Balogun Fulani Ward of Ilorin South Local Government Area of Kwara State, have benefited from Barrister Mohammed Adelodun Ajikobi Medical Outreach.

A medical team comprising Doctors, Pharmacists and Nurses attended to the people of the areas at a 2-day outreach for screening, prescription and dispensary of free drugs to patients, most of who could not afford prescribed drugs.

The medical mission is designed to offer free treatment to people battling different ailments.

According to the Medical Team Leader, Dr Monsur Babaita, “People were screened for Blood Pressure, Sugar, Malaria, while those battling with hypertension, diabetes mellitus, malaria, respiratory tract infections, Urogenital infections, skin infection and musculoskeletal pain were treated with free drugs provided for them.”

Babaita noted that the two days medical outreach at the instance of an Abuja-based legal practitioner, Mohammed Adelodun Ajikobi, was the sixth edition and bankrolled to provide succour to deserving and poor people in Ajikobi and Centre Igboro of Ilorin metropolis.

The medical expert, who lamented the rate at which people grapple with ailments, called for medical support for them in their trying period.

On the rationale behind the outreach, the convener, Barrister Mohammed Adelodun Ajikobi, described it as a medical palliative to assist the poor and less privileged in the society who are unable to access medical services.

“It is 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 less privileged who do not have access to medical healthcare due to financial constraints.

“The doctors, nurses and pharmacists are volunteers. They are also supporting us to assist our people. The two days medical outreach were held in Ajikobi district of Ilorin West Local Government Area and Centre Igboro of Balogun Fulani ward in Ilorin South Local Government Area,” he said.

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 subsidizing their medical bills.

He said, “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.”

Some of the beneficiaries of the medical outreach commended the convener, Mohammed Adelodun Ajikobi for such initiative which they said had helped them to access healthcare as majority of them are financially constrained to visit hospitals.

They used the occasion to call on privileged individuals and notable sons and daughters of the communities to emulate the convener towards bringing succor to the less privileged.
