The National Association of Seadogs (NAS) (Pyrates Confraternity) has lamented the state of the nation’s primary healthcare centres, saying most of them lack adequate drugs, funding and medical professionals to serve patients.
This is also as the association provided free medical services to a community in Kaduna State where no fewer than 6000 patients benefitted.
NAS leader, Abiola Owoaje, while fielding questions from newsmen in Kaduna during the free medical outreach in Romi community in Chikun local government area, said poor budgetary allocations to the health sector by government, brain drain among medical doctors among other factors were responsible for low healthcare services in communities across the country.
Owoaje said over 6000 people in Romi community who are suffering from eyes diseases, hypertension and other ailments were expected to receive the free medical services provided by the association.
