In a bid to promote global health equity and accessibility, Annomo Health Concierge extended its 2024 Health Week Medical Mission to the prestigious IBB Golf Club in Abuja, providing members with a unique opportunity to engage with world-renowned specialists in bone and joint health.

Led by the esteemed Dr. Chichi Menakaya, the team shared valuable insights and practical tips on maintaining optimal musculoskeletal wellbeing, enabling golfers to enjoy the game without the burden of pain.

The event, which took place at the IBB Golf Club, was met with enthusiasm and gratitude from members, who recognised the significance of prioritising their health and wellbeing.

Dr. Menakaya, a distinguished orthopedic surgeon and CEO of Annomo Health Concierge, highlighted the strategic importance of the visit, urging golfers to absorb the valuable insights on bone and joint health.
