RESIDENTS of Alimosho and its environs have benefited from a one-day free health screening, consultations, and counselling organised by the Alimosho General Hospital, Igando, in the Igando-Ikotun LCDA of Alimosho LGA.
Speaking at the event tagged “Sanwo Truly Cares”, the First Lady of Lagos State, Dr Ibijoke Sanwo-Olu averred that the present administration desires that the citizens remain healthy so that they can continue to contribute their quota to the development of the State while also enjoying the dividends of good governance.
Dr Sanwo-Olu stated that it is not enough to elect credible leaders at the State level alone and be disinterested in the political candidates at the Federal levels, saying that such disposition might not bring about the expected changes in governance as both the State and Federal Governments need to work hand-in-hand.
She then implored the residents of Alimosho to come out en-masse and exercise their civic duties during Saturday's elections and next month when the election of National and State public officeholders will take place.
Also speaking at the event, the Medical Director and Chief Executive Officer of Alimosho General Hospital, Dr Ayodapo Soyinka stated that periodic organisation of medical outreaches and missions constitute part of the policy direction of the hospital which had been taken to different communities in the past.
He described the free medical screening as a more holistic and comprehensive medical mission intervention that covers larger areas of medical needs including giving referrals to some patients whose needs cannot be attended to immediately in the cause of the free medical mission.
