Seven-Up Bottling Company (SBC) has transformed the neglected Sari-Iganmu Primary Health Centre in Apapa-Iganmu, Lagos into a fully functional, solar-powered facility that can serve thousands of residents. This major healthcare intervention was unveiled during a ceremony held in Lagos, attended by key stakeholders, including SBC's Managing Director and CEO, Sari El-Khalil; the Ojora of Ijora and Iganmu Kingdom, HRM Oba Abdulfatai Oyeyinka Aremu Aromire II; and the Executive Chairman of Apapa-Iganmu Local Council Development Area (LCDA), Hon.
Jimoh Olawale Saliu. Apapa-Iganmu holds a significant place in SBC's history, as the company first produced its first bottle of 7Up in the community in 1960, establishing a long-standing relationship with the area that spans over six decades. The rehabilitated facility includes renovations to the maternity ward, construction and equipping of a laboratory, and the installation of solar power infrastructure.
This project aligns with Sustainable Development Goal 3 - Good Health and Well-being, which is one of SBC's seven priority SDGs in its sustainability agenda. The upgraded health centre is expected to provide a safer and better-equipped environment for healthcare workers and improve the overall healthcare experience for patients and their families.
