On Saturday, 20th July 2024, Friends of Ronzls Foundation successfully held its first Free Medical and Health Outreach in Ilorin, Kwara State. This milestone event was designed to provide essential health services to the community, underscoring the foundation’s commitment to improving public health and well-being.
The outreach offered a range of services, including blood pressure checks, HIV/AIDS check-ups, eye examinations, BMI assessments, free drug distribution, and health talks. Free medical tests were conducted, and free drugs were given to all patients to support their health. These services aimed to address both immediate and long-term health concerns of the community members. Over 180 patients received care from a dedicated team of nurses, pharmacists, and doctors who worked tirelessly to ensure each patient got the attention and care they needed.
The success of this event was made possible through the collaboration between Friends of Ronzls Foundation and the Ayinde Foodbank and Open Kitchen teams from both Ilorin, Kwara State, and Sagamu, Ogun State. Volunteers played a crucial role in managing the registration process and filling out medical cards for the patients, ensuring a smooth and organized event.
The Chairman of the community expressed heartfelt gratitude to the organizers for bringing such a beneficial initiative to their locality. He addressed the patients, highlighting the positive impact of the outreach on their community and encouraging continued participation in such health programs. Ola Sulaimon, the founder of Friends of Ronzls Foundation, also addressed the gathering. She emphasized the importance of taking good care of one’s health, reminding everyone that “health is wealth.” Her inspiring words resonated with the patients, reinforcing the foundation’s mission to promote health awareness and provide accessible medical services to those in need.
Friends of Ronzls Foundation remains committed to continuing its efforts in delivering vital services to underserved communities. The success of this first Free Medical and Health Outreach is a testament to the foundation’s dedication and the power of community collaboration. We look forward to organizing more such events in the future, with the aim of making a lasting positive impact on public health.
