KAB Foundation provides healthcare, relief to 649 elderly residents in Lagos

The Kassim Alli-Balogun (KAB) Foundation provided free healthcare services and welfare packages to 649 elderly residents of Surulere, Lagos State, particularly Ogunmola Close and its environs, to improve their well-being.

The beneficiaries, aged 60 and above, attended the medical outreach on Sunday, while some eligible residents below 60 also received services.

Among them was 100-year-old Mrs. Esther Idhen, whose presence underscored the importance of extending healthcare, love and support to elderly community members.

The outreach attracted elderly residents from the 10 Community Development Associations (CDAs) in Ward F3, Surulere Constituency I, and was organised to commemorate the birthday of the Foundation’s Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Kassim Alli-Balogun. It also reflected his commitment to giving back to the community where he grew up.

Welcoming the beneficiaries on behalf of the CEO, the Lagos State Director of the KAB Foundation, Ms. Omolola Alli-Balogun, expressed his joy at the opportunity to support his childhood community.

She said the birthday outreach was a deliberate expression of love, gratitude and concern for the elderly, whose health and well-being remain a priority for him. She added that the CEO hoped to expand the initiative as part of his continued commitment to improving residents’ lives.

The medical outreach was conducted in collaboration with a medical team from the Atti Theresa Foundation, led by Dr. Eniye Aprezi.

Services included medical check-ups, consultations, treatment, medications, eye examinations and free eyeglasses, dental scaling and polishing, and physiotherapy.
