Over 2,000 residents benefited from the initiative, which featured vital tests such as blood pressure checks, blood sugar level assessments, height and BMI measurements, HIV testing, family planning services, tuberculosis screening, kidney function evaluation, and eye examinations that led to the distribution of free medicated glasses.

The outreach programme continued on November 5 and 6 at the Council’s Primary Health Centres located at Akintan Mascara and Akinyemi Street, Alapere. Beneficiaries expressed appreciation for the initiative, noting that it brought essential health services directly to their doorstep.

In her closing remarks, Hon. Adetola Adunni Abubakar commended the medical team, council officials, and volunteers for their dedication to ensuring the success of the exercise. She encouraged residents to make healthy living a continuous priority.
