Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, has flagged off the 4th IMOLE Free Surgical and Medical Outreach.
The initiative is part of the governor’s five-point agenda, focusing on restoring healthy living despite economic challenges.
Speaking during flags-off at the State Specialist Hospital, Asubiaro, Osogbo, Governor Adeleke, said that over 50,000 residents of the state have benefited the medical outreach.
Adeleke said, “Restoring healthy living is one of the five-point agenda of this administration. Despite economic challenges, we are committed to delivering on this promise. We are pursuing this goal with determination and focus.
“One of our major achievements is the IMOLE Free Surgical and Medical Outreach Program. Since its inception, this program has provided life-changing care to over 50,000 people. Many of these individuals could not afford treatment and lived with their conditions for years.
“This initiative has become a lifeline for the masses. It provides fast and accessible medical and surgical care to those in need. Public feedback shows that people eagerly await each new round of this programme.
“In the last two years, we have achieved remarkable milestones in the health sector. We have strengthened primary healthcare, which is closest to the people. Over 200 primary health centers have been upgraded with 24-hour power and water supply.
“Our state was recently rated the best in the South West for health governance and leadership by the Nigeria Governors’ Forum. This success is a result of our commitment and strategic planning.
“We have also improved conditions of health workers. Competitive remuneration has reduced the trend of workers leaving the state. I thank our health workforce for their dedication and assure you of continued support.
“This edition of the IMOLE Outreach will hold in six zones: Osogbo, Ilesa, Iwo, Ikirun, Ife, and Ede. I encourage our people to take advantage of this programme. Medical experts in various specialties are ready to attend to your needs.
