Excitement as 1,500 Lagos Residents Receive Free Medical Care

At least 1,500 Lagos residents have benefited from a free medical outreach organised as part of activities marking Razaq Okoya’s 86th birthday. The outreach aimed to promote early disease detection and improve access to healthcare for underserved communities.

Medical professionals provided free consultations, health screenings, and medications, focusing on conditions that often go undetected due to high healthcare costs.

Health experts at the outreach stressed that late diagnosis and out-of-pocket medical expenses worsen health outcomes for many Nigerians.

Beneficiaries expressed gratitude, saying the programme provided lifesaving services they could not afford.

Organisers said the outreach highlighted the importance of preventive healthcare and community-based interventions in improving public health.
