Members of the National Youth Service Corps have organized a free medical outreach to the people of Etsako West Local Government Area of Edo State on Monday.

Services provided in the cause of the programme include but not restricted to consultations, tests for sugar levels, HIV testing, checking and documentation of vital signs, prescriptions and provision of medications as well as referrals.

The event was well attended as beneficiaries trooped into the palace premises for medical attention.

Speaking to AUCHI BLOGspot, Hajia Aperua Yusuf who was one of the coordinators of the event as well as a representative of Association of Professionals For Family Health Empowerment And Community Development (APFFHECOD) stated that the event would be of immense benefit to the people given that a lot of them had underlying conditions but lacked the wherewithal to get medical attention.

She explained that medical outreaches like this should be encouraged by those who have the capacity to do so for the benefit of the people.

Momoh, Otaru of Auchi, the Queens, Palace Chiefs, APFFHECOD, Auchi Central Hospital, Oseni Specialist Family Clinic,  Nwobodo Pharmacy, Community members like Mrs Fatima Dankano, Alhaji Oyarekhua, Muhammed Momoh and many more.

Momoh, Otaru of Auchi Sacred Kingdom together with his Chiefs for the prompt response and ample support even though the project was brought to the King's awareness late.
