OSUN, Nigeria – The SROL medical outreach provides free healthcare services to more than 2,700 residents of Imogbara, Odo-Ijesha and Iperindo in Atakunmosa East Local Government Area of Osun State, expanding access to medical care and long-term support for patients with chronic illnesses.
Segilola Resources Operating Limited (SROL), an exploration and gold mining company, says in a statement issued on Thursday that the fourth edition of its annual community medical outreach takes place on August 7 and 8, delivering medical consultations, laboratory investigations, specialist treatment and health education to residents of its host communities.
The programme records 2,762 medical consultations, 1,860 laboratory investigations and 563 eye examinations, while 81 residents are scheduled for general and specialist surgeries, including 21 eye surgeries. A total of 174 prescription reading glasses are also distributed free of charge.
Medical teams conduct screenings for hypertension, diabetes, HIV, hepatitis B and C, tuberculosis and other health conditions as part of efforts to promote early diagnosis and treatment.
During the exercise, seven chronic mental health cases are identified and enrolled for rehabilitation and counselling, while 50 additional residents join the SegunCare programme. Since its launch, the initiative has provided monthly medication, routine monitoring and disease management for about 279 beneficiaries.
SROL Medical Services Manager, Dr Princewill Osuchukwu, says the company remains committed to improving healthcare access in underserved communities.
“Our vision has always been to ensure that quality healthcare is not limited by location or affordability.”
He adds that the expanded programme will provide “more holistic healthcare for our communities.”
A beneficiary, Adeshina Sherifat, describes the initiative as transformational.
“Today, I receive my medication regularly, my health is monitored, and I feel much stronger.”
