Palton Morgan Holdings, a frontline developer and investor in real estate that plays at the luxury end of the market, and MedPlus, a local healthcare provider, have partnered to provide free health checks for construction workers.
Authorities of the construction giant explained in a statement on Lagos on Thursday that the partnership aims to provide free health screening and check-up for all construction workers at their Paramount Twin Towers site. They hope this action will foster a culture of preventive care and ensure early detection of any health concerns.
The free health checks and screening were held recently and over 60 construction workers as well as Platon Morgan’s in-house engineers were present. Also present were Peter Raven, the company’s Director, Project and Construction Management, and other key players in the team.
A major highlight of the event was an enlightening health talk delivered by Mr. Agdeoye Oyerinde, a representative of Medplus Pharmacy. He spoke on the significance of each medical screening carried out and the benefits of its findings as that helps in understanding one’s current health status. He was supported by other pharmacists who were tasked with screening, consultation, results review and treatment of the workers.
The screening involved checking the workers’ health essentials, including blood pressure, visceral fat, blood sugar, muscle mass, malaria test and BMI measurements. Additionally, workers received personalized counselling on how to adopt healthy lifestyle practices and nutrition, all tailored towards meeting the demands of their job.
As a leading luxury real estate developer in Nigeria, Palton Morgan stands tall as a beacon of progress and innovation in the industry. It also stands out in the heart of the bustling city of Lagos where skyscrapers reach for the sky and the rhythm of construction resonates through the streets.
More than just erecting buildings, the company is dedicated to enriching lives and supporting livelihoods. Its steadfast commitment to a healthy workforce is evident in every initiative it undertakes.
“On a bright working day, as the sun bathed the city in golden light, illuminating the bustling construction sites, we held a crucial meeting at our corporate headquarters where our executives discussed ways to enhance the health and well-being of our workforce, particularly the hardworking construction workers who dedicate their days to bringing projects to fruition,” Raven disclosed.
He noted that the partnership between Palton Morgan and MedPlus underscores their corporate social responsibility in action, adding that it transcends mere construction of projects, embodying a commitment to nurturing a healthier and happier workforce.
He noted further that, as construction projects soar to new heights, so do the health and well-being of the workers, leaving a lasting legacy of care and compassion that resonates with the city and its people
