SML Holds Free Medical Outreach in Host Communities in Edo

Sundry Markets Limited (SML), a leading grocery retailer in Nigeria and owners of MarketSquare supermarkets, at the weekend, ended a week-long free medical outreach, benefiting thousands of people in its host communities across Edo State. 

This initiative is part of SML’s commitment to corporate social responsibility (CSR), aimed at enhancing the quality of life for residents in the communities where it operates.

The Edo State free medical outreach programme, planned by SML in collaboration with Pro-Health International (PHI), a non- governmental organization, held at Arougba Health Centre, Benin City, Edo State and is the second in the series after the Port Harcourt, Rivers State outing last year. 

It focused on free medical consultations; general and specialized surgeries; eye examinations; blood sugar and high blood pressure checks.

Other service offerings at the programme include; dental examinations, laboratory investigations, health promotion and education.  

“Every year, we continue to impact members of our host communities with our health intervention. This year, we are glad to be expanding our scope to reach the most vulnerable persons in Edo State with free and quality medical health services tailored to their needs”. 

“SML recognizes the challenge healthcare coverage poses in the Nigerian society that needs to be managed. As a responsible corporate brand, we consider this medical outreach as our modest contribution in the effort to help fill the current gaps in the healthcare access and delivery in the country,” Manager, Marketing, SML, Timothy Abati said.
