House of Representatives has urged the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) to put adequate medical facilities in Nigerian Airports to forestall sudden death from high blood pressure and diabetes among others.

The House also urged the Ministries of Aviation and Health to collaborate with relevant healthcare professionals and organisations to establish and operate high blood pressure and sugar levels check desks at airports and local clinics across the country.

It further asked that the desks be staffed with trained healthcare personnel who can accurately measure blood pressure and sugar levels, provide basic counselling, and refer individuals to appropriate medical services, if necessary.

These resolutions were sequel to the amendment and adoption of a motion moved by Hon. Kalejaiye Adeboye Paul from Lagos at plenary, yesterday.

Moving the motion, Kalejaiye said air travel can be physically demanding and stressful for many passengers and these factors, combined with the potential health risks associated with long flights and varying environmental conditions make it essential to prioritise the health of individuals passing through our airports.

He stated that: “By establishing free high blood pressure and sugar levels check desks at all airports, we can promote early detection and preventive care for conditions such as hypertension and diabetes.

“Regular monitoring of these vital health parameters will enable travellers to seek medical intervention and prevent potential complications; the provision of these check desks will demonstrate our commitment to public health promotion.”

Adopting the motion, the House mandated the Committee on Aviation (when constituted) to ensure compliance.
