Eti-Osa Council Brings Healthcare Closer to the People with Free Medical Outreach

In a renewed effort to enhance community health and ensure inclusive access to medical care, the Eti-Osa Local Government on Wednesday, October 15, 2025, organized a free medical outreach program at the Council Secretariat, benefiting hundreds of residents, especially the elderly.

The initiative, championed by the Executive Chairman, Omo’ba Adeola Alimot Adetoro, reflects the council’s commitment to improving the quality of life for residents through proactive and people-centered healthcare interventions.

According to the Council’s Public Affairs Unit, the outreach focused primarily on the aged, many of whom face difficulties accessing routine healthcare. The program provided a wide range of free medical services, including health education, blood pressure and sugar checks, dental and eye examinations, malaria and hepatitis screenings, immunization, family planning services, and free medications.

Speaking on the initiative, Chairman Adetoro emphasized that the program aligns with her administration’s goal of ensuring that every resident, regardless of age or financial status, has access to essential healthcare. She noted that the elderly remain a vital part of the community and deserve special attention in public health planning.

“Our aim is to build a healthier Eti-Osa by taking healthcare to those who need it most,” Adetoro stated. “Through programs like this, we are not only treating illnesses but also promoting prevention and wellness.”

The outreach also provided counseling sessions and health education to raise awareness about lifestyle diseases and preventive care.

Residents commended the council for the initiative, describing it as a timely intervention that underscores the administration’s compassion and responsiveness to community needs.

The Eti-Osa Local Government reaffirmed its resolve to continue implementing programs that improve health outcomes and foster a stronger, healthier population.
