The initiative, spearheaded by the hospital, aimed to underscore the importance of health within the community and align with the festival’s spirit of giving back.

Alhaji Ahmed Adeniyi, a member of the Kayokayo committee, highlighted that the medical outreach was a crucial aspect of the festival.

“This is our way of giving back to the community and reinforcing the message that health is indeed wealth,” Adeniyi stated.

“We are providing free medical check-ups, tests, and medications to ensure that everyone has the opportunity to maintain their well-being.”

Dr. Olaitan Oladele, a physician from Epe General Hospital, emphasized the importance of proactive health management.

The outreach saw a significant turnout from community members who took advantage of the free services offered.

Many expressed their gratitude for the initiative, noting the importance of having access to health services in their local area.

The programme is a testament to the hospital’s commitment to enhancing public health and well-being beyond their regular services.

The successful collaboration between the festival organizers and the hospital underscores a growing trend of integrating health awareness into cultural celebrations, paving the way for more comprehensive community support initiatives in the future.
