„We started this programme with medical outreach and we are able to successfully execute over 150 surgeries. We adopted a model whereby beneficiaries were drawn  from hinterlands for security reasons and brought to the city centre.

„The exercise is a way of supporting the government, the populace especially the less privilege who cannot afford any of these services because a good number of this surgeries can only be accessed outside the country by the rich,’’ he said.
