In line with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goal 3 (SDG 3) – Good Health and Well-being, Egbin Power has once again demonstrated its dedication to ensuring the health and well-being of its host communities through its 7th Annual Medical Outreach.
The three-day medical outreach, held in partnership with Livewell Initiative, a Non-Governmental Organisation, provided free medical services to over 3,000 residents in Egbin, Ijede, and Ipakan communities. The services included cardiovascular, arthritis, dental, eye-check, diabetes tests, malaria treatment, hepatitis screening, and blood pressure examination.
Residents, including children, adults, and nursing mothers, received eye-glasses, dental kits, and medications at no cost after careful examination by qualified medical practitioners.
Felix Ofulue, Head of Corporate Communications and Branding at Egbin Power, emphasized the company’s commitment to the health and well-being of its host communities. “We recognize that the health and well-being of our host communities is crucial to our success. This medical outreach programme is one of the ways we demonstrate our commitment to giving back to our host communities.”
The Managing Director of Livewell Initiative, Dr. Bisi Bright, praised the partnership between Egbin Power and her organisation. “We are proud to partner with Egbin Power on this medical outreach programme. Together, we are making a positive difference in the lives of the people in these communities.”
Community leaders, including the Aro of Egbin Kingdom, High Chief Olayemi Olukunga, commended Egbin Power for its consistent support for the community. Residents also expressed their gratitude for the initiative, citing the significant impact it has had on their lives.
The medical outreach programme is part of Egbin Power’s corporate social responsibility initiatives, aimed at promoting the health, education, and economic empowerment of its host communities. By prioritising SDG 3, the company is fulfilling its corporate social responsibility and making a difference in the lives of its host communities.
