She assured participants that everyone would receive professional and compassionate care.

In his remarks, Hon. Odunmbaku described the outreach as a reflection of what can be achieved when compassion meets purpose, commending Eko Club International for its consistent commitment to grassroots healthcare.

“This event is more than just a medical outreach; it is a testimony of what can be achieved when compassion meets purpose,” he said.

He added that the initiative aligns with his administration’s HEYS agenda; Health, Education, Youth Empowerment, and Social Welfare — and highlighted the renovation of three primary health centres within the LCDA as part of efforts to strengthen community healthcare.
