It offered free eye, ear and dental checks, nutrition/diabetics awareness, pediatrics evaluation and social welfare services.
The programme, which is in its 3rd edition, recorded no fewer than 2,500 beneficiaries within and outside the community, ahead of the 2024/2025 academic session beginning in September.
According to Omolaja, this is a significant way of preparing children and ensuring that they are in good health ahead of school’s resumption.
Omolaja, who described the outreach as a good initiative, said the programme would go a long way to meet the child healthcare needs and put the learners in good shape during the academic session.
“A healthy child will learn better in the classroom and relate well with peers than the one struggling with health issues.
“This programme has been doing this for the overall healthcare of children.
“ I’m optimistic that even pupils outside this community have benefited from this laudable initiative; we recognise this goodwill and are impressed at the sustainability,” he added.
The Lagos SUBEB official enjoined parents of beneficiaries to collaborate the efforts of OAGH management by encouraging their wards to adopt a healthy lifestyle in the house and school environment.
