Dr. (Mrs.) Oludolapo Sotunde, Director of Medical Services and Disease Control Directorate, whose office is in charge of the outreach, in collaboration with the Yaba LCDA medical team, said the medical outreach had become important and as a result, the Health District is not just curbing the spread of infection but nipping them in the bud in their entirety
The Medical Outreach which borders on Immunisation, Counselling, Family Planning, and Blood Pressure among other health checks had more than enough residents come out en masse to benefit from the exercise.
The medical outreach is a round tour exercise aimed at reaching all communities within the District’s coverage area with medical personnel to attend to all patients present to ensure that no one is left behind,
The outreach further underscored Health District IV’s commitment to ensuring universal and quality healthcare services to all community members in the state in line with the THEMES Plus Agenda of the Sanwo-Olu administration.
