In Imogbara, Odo-Ijesha and Iperindo, over 2,700 residents received free healthcare during the fourth Annual Community Medical Outreach held by Segilola Resources Operating Limited (SROL) on August 7 and 8, 2026. The outreach provided medical consultations, laboratory investigations, specialist care, health education, and mental health support.
SROL expanded its SegunCare program to offer comprehensive mental health support to residents with non-communicable chronic diseases. During the event, 2,762 medical consultations were conducted, 81 residents underwent surgical procedures, 1,860 lab investigations were performed, and 563 eye exams were carried out. Twenty-one residents were scheduled for eye surgeries, and 174 pairs of free prescription reading glasses were distributed.
Seven chronic mental health issues were identified, and mental health rehabilitation and counseling were provided. SROL's Medical Services Manager, Dr. Princewill Osuchukwu, explained that while the outreach offers immediate access to essential medical services, the SegunCare program supports residents living with chronic illnesses long after the outreach has ended.
The Chairman of the Iperindo Community Development Agreement Committee, Soji Gbege, emphasized the importance of SROL's consistent presence in their communities, fostering trust and confidence in the support provided.
