In a noteworthy event, the Nigerian Medical Association organised its “Physicians Week 2023” to provide free medical treatment to the Idi-Oro community in Mushin.
Bakri Hamzat, the Internal Auditor of the Association’s Lagos State Zone and Chairman of Medical Outreach for Physicians Week, emphasised the importance of giving back to the community where he grew up.
This generous initiative was made possible with the support of Hon Rasaq Ajala (HRA), a selfless leader dedicated to the well-being of his people.
Ajala expressed his gratitude to Kadri and his colleagues for their commitment to helping the less privileged.
He said, “It showed that Dr Kadri and his colleagues were committed to helping the less privileged as they will access the best hands in the medical line.
“Doctor Bakri is the son of the soil and he has demonstrated that he loves his people and this is the reason he is giving back to the community that he grew up in.”
The programme included free consultations by medical experts and the provision of free medications.
More complex cases would be referred to various hospitals for specialized treatment.
Additionally, an upcoming free health mission sponsored by the LCDA was announced, offering free eye surgery and eyeglasses in the last week of November.
The event was marked by heartfelt appreciation from beneficiaries, such as Deaconess Unice Adetoro, who thanked the Chairman and the doctors for bringing vital healthcare services to their community.
The chairman’s formal declaration of the event and the presentation of a portrait by the Association were the highlights of the day.
