The president of the Rotary Club of Lagos Island, Rotarian Hiro Rupchandani, at a free medical outreach for family health, mother and childcare jointly organised by the Rotary Club of Lagos Island and Grover’s Hospital VI in Lagos, said the move is to provide quality medical for the underprivileged citizens who cannot afford quality medical care
According to him, the initiative will go a long way to give access to many poor Nigerians, quality drugs, and medical advice, pointing out that the move is part of Rotary’s quest to give back to society.
“This is a health care programme which we have organised to concentrate mainly on women and children and of course, the men are also welcome. We are using this Medical Outreach camp to check blood pressure, Hemoglobin blood sugar etc . We test and discuss with the doctors, and if there is anything the doctor can do, we provide them with medications,” he stated.
Speaking earlier, the Managing Director, of Grover’s Hospital, Chief Dr. Grover Anil, said the initiative is mainly focused on the health of mothers and children, maintaining that by giving back to the society, Rotary is aiming to put smiles on the faces of Nigerians who cannot get quality health care.
He said, “In this medical and health check-up program, our major focus is on the health of mother and child. A lot of mothers and children have been invited for this health check-up.”
