The wife of the Ogun State Governor, Bamidele Abiodun, on Tuesday at the Olabisi Onabanjo University Teaching Hospital, Sagamu, flagged off free medical surgeries aimed at expanding access to quality healthcare services at the grassroots and uplifting vulnerable residents.

The free health intervention programme, which is expected to cater for more than 300 beneficiaries, is being organised by the Ajose Foundation, founded by the Ogun First Lady, in collaboration with a team of medical doctors based in the United States.

Speaking at the event, Mrs Abiodun said the free medical programme was a further demonstration of the commitment of the state government to the well-being of residents.

She explained that, “Without good health, you really can’t function. Health is wealth. You may see people looking healthy, but the moment they’re diagnosed with a serious illness, their entire lives can change.
