In continuation of the medical outreach in mitigating the health needs, Ibom Developers organised a two-day medical outreach, themed “Health is Wealth”, at the Ikonta/Obianga Health Centre, Eastern Obolo LGA, Akwa Ibom State, on October 15 and 16, 2023.
This impactful initiative rendered free medical care to 1,400 individuals, including women, men, and children, to address their health concerns such as malaria, typhoid, skin rashes, and other health-related issues for residents of Ikonta, Lagos Fishing Port, and Obianga Community.
To underscore the importance of the exercise, the Ibom Developers noted, “We all live in an incredibly busy world and often forget the worth of wellness. But to thrive, communities need to nurture a healthy environment.
“Health is considered valuable and precious for every individual. Good health means absence of disease in the body with complete physical and mental well-being.”
Dignitaries, including the Medical Director of Primary Health Care, Eastern Obolo LGA, Mrs. Atim Ulo; Village Head of Obianga Community, Chief Humphrey Humphrey Oyet, and Family Head of Ogboyok Compound, Obianga, Chief Kenneth Augustus Ogboyok, were present at the event.
At the event, Mrs. Atim Asuquo Ulo, Director of Primary Health Care, Eastern Obolo LGA, emphasised the importance of community health, saying, “Access to quality health care should be a basic human right. Ibom Developers has remained committed to making a difference in the lives of the communities by providing them with essential health care services and building resilient communities for the future.”
Physical wellbeing is a fundamental key indicator of sustainable development. Medical outreach services are one of the ways to ensure improved and continued access to good health care and is vital for curbing the health challenges.
For his part, the Village Head of Obianga Community, Chief Humphrey Humphrey Oyet, said, “This initiative provides a complete method to fostering natural change, preventive, and curative health care services.”
