A four-day free medical outreach, organized by the Olusegun Obasanjo Foundation, is set to benefit more than 2,000 residents from Iseyin and surrounding Oke-Ogun communities in Oyo State. Former President Olusegun Obasanjo, the foundation's founder, emphasized the significance of societal responsibility and communal efforts during the initiative in Iseyin. The mission aims at improving healthcare access, disease prevention, and supporting vulnerable community members.
Former President Obasanjo praised Mr. Ahmed Raji (SAN) for his support of the foundation, stating that those with the means should contribute to humanity through their wealth. He highlighted that the foundation is committed to advancing human security, health improvement, and promoting healthier communities. The outreach will provide free eye and ear medical services, particularly to those who might otherwise struggle to access healthcare.
The foundation's executive director, Dr. Olalekan Makinde, described the medical mission as a humanitarian intervention reflecting Obasanjo's dedication to accessible healthcare. The foundation is the only organization in Nigeria providing free hearing aids to those in need. Their focus is on supporting elderly citizens, children, families, people with hearing challenges, and low-income and vulnerable residents.
