The Jubril Dotun Sanusi (JDS) Free Medical Outreach, in a remarkable display of community spirit and commitment to public health, continues to make waves across Ibadan, Oyo State.
The latest of the transformative event, which took place in both the Ibadan South-East and North-East local government areas, has been hailed as a beacon of hope for many residents in need of various medical attentions.
On Friday, the vibrant Itesiwaju Market in the Sanyo area of the state capital became a hub of activity as the outreach kicked off there.
Crowds flocked to the venue, eager to benefit from the free medical services being offered and provided by the Ibadan-based philanthropist of note, Chief Dotun Sanusi, Chairman/CEO of Ilaji Hotels and Sports Resort.
From early in the morning, healthcare professionals, equipped with medical supplies and a wealth of knowledge, set up stations to provide consultations, screenings and health education.
The atmosphere was charged with excitement and a sense of urgency as residents took the opportunity to address long-standing health issues.
The following day, the momentum continued at Ojee Market in Ibadan Northeast, where the free medical outreach drew an equally enthusiastic crowd.
Families, young and old, gathered to receive essential health check-ups, with many expressing their gratitude for the accessibility of these services.
“This is a game-changer for us,” declared a resident. “We often struggle to get basic healthcare, but today is different!,” he added.
Chief Dotun Sanusi, the driving force behind JDS, emphasised the importance of such initiatives. “Health is a fundamental right and we are here to ensure that no one is left behind,” he stated passionately.
The leadership of Sanusi has not only brought free medical services to the forefront, but has also inspired a wave of volunteerism among local healthcare workers eager to make a difference.
The JDS Free Medical Outreach provided a comprehensive range of services, including blood pressure checks, diabetes screenings and health education on nutrition and preventive care.
Participants were not only treated but also educated on how to maintain their health and prevent future ailments.
“Knowledge is just as important as treatment. We want our community to be empowered to take charge of their health,” Sanusi remarked.
Meanwhile, residents opined that in the wake of the successful outreach, Jubril Dotun Sanusi and his team should be planning future events, with the ambition to reach even more communities.
“This is just the beginning. We will continue to fight for better health for our people, one outreach at a time,” Sanusi asserted.
