Gbenga Daniel offers free surgeries to 754 Ogun residents

Former Ogun State Governor and Senator, Otunba Gbenga Daniel, inaugurated a 14-day free medical outreach on Monday, set to benefit at least 754 residents across the state. The initiative, in collaboration with Sharing Hope Medical Mission, Eye Foundation Hospital, and Redeemer’s Health Village, aims to provide essential healthcare services to the underserved population of Ogun State.

The outreach, which includes eye surgeries, plastic surgeries, orthopaedic care, general medical consultations, and other medical services, will be held at designated centers as well as 13 locations across the state. Daniel, representing the Gateway Front Foundation, emphasized that the initiative was not influenced by political considerations, but rather a commitment to supporting vulnerable individuals through medical interventions.

Dr Emeka Anyanwu, a trauma surgeon from the United States, stressed the importance of investing in Nigeria’s healthcare sector, highlighting that a healthy population is essential for economic prosperity and sustainable national development. He also commended the foundation for its contributions to healthcare delivery and community development in Ogun State, urging governments to prioritize medical facilities and accessible healthcare services.
