The outreach offered a range of medical services, including dental care, eye care, and general health consultations.
Speaking at the event, Hon. Animashaun emphasized that the program was part of her administration’s efforts to bring healthcare closer to those who might not have easy access.
“This free medical outreach is our way of giving back to the community and ensuring that everyone, regardless of their location, can receive the healthcare they need,” she said.
“We are committed to making healthcare accessible and affordable for all our people.”
Dr. Awolesi Adeleke, the Medical Officer of Health in Epe LGA, praised the Chairman’s ongoing dedication to healthcare. “This outreach reflects the Chairman’s genuine commitment to the well-being of our residents.
By bringing these services to the community, we are showing that healthcare is a priority for this administration,” he remarked.
Residents who benefited from the outreach expressed their appreciation. Many shared how the free services had relieved them of the financial burden of healthcare costs.
One resident, Mrs. Balogun Mariam, said, “I am truly grateful for this initiative. It would have cost me a lot to get dental and eye care, but today I received treatment at no cost.”
Another beneficiary, Mr. Adewale Taiwo, described the outreach as a blessing. “For us in the riverine areas, getting access to healthcare is a major challenge.
This program has made a real difference in our lives, and we appreciate the Chairman’s efforts,” he said.
Hon. Animashaun assured residents that the medical outreach would be extended to other communities in Epe LGA.
“This is just the beginning. We are committed to improving health services across Epe, and we will continue to bring these initiatives to more communities,” she concluded.
