A non-Governmental Organisation, Chidi Ikediashi Foundation on Friday administered free healthcare services to indigenes of Obulu Okiti, a community in Aniocha South local government area of Delta state.
The foundation is sponsored by Comrade Chidi Ikediashi, the supervising councilor for environment in the local government council who was on the ground at the Obulu Okiti primary healthcare centre where the free healthcare services were carried out said not less than 500 residents, including elderly men and women, youths and children received free testing, blood pressure checks, eye checks, blood sugar checks, and other services
In an interview at the treatment centre, Ikediashi said he picked an interest in the healthcare aspect of the sustainable development goals (SDG) to meet the health needs of his people.
According to him: “It is good to know the right people and use them when the need like this arises.” He said the turn out of the residents was encouraging. Chairman of Aniocha South local government council, Jude Chukwuweike, commended Ikediashi for carrying out the laudable healthcare service to his people.
Ossai Ovie Success, an aide to Governor Ifeanyi Okowa, also commended Ikediashi for the venture. He said this venture is what the state has been praying for, that is individuals who will complement and support the programme of the Delta state government.
He said: “What we are seeing here today is an act of kindness. Health is wealth. When we are not strong, we cannot go about our daily pursuits. What he is doing will really reduce the rate of death and ill-health.
“People are happy seeing something like this. I have seen the medical personnel. They are committed to the work. The state government has actually done well in health delivery services. You cannot preach the gospel of stronger Delta or Think Delta First without the people being healthy.”
