Speaking at the event, Hon. Egwu said that the event was part of her modest decision to give priority to the health needs of her people and help them access free medical treatment at this challenging times when people can barely offset their medical bills.

She noted that ‘health is wealth’ and a foundation for economic growth and development of any society.

“It’s because of the priority I give to the health needs of my people, that I had organised similar outreaches in the past, renovated as well as equipped several primary health centres across the LGA.
