Immediate past Minister of Labour and Employment, Nkeiruka Onyejeocha, has said her 19th free medical and surgery outreach aligns with President Bola Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda in Health, even as she sponsored the treatment of a baby born without anus estimated to cost about N5 million.
Onyejeocha, who conducted the outreach at the Mbalano General Hospital in Isuikwuato and Madam Suzanna Mba Health Centre, Isuochi in Umunneochi, from July 23 to 30, said the initiative was aimed at assisting patients who cannot afford cost of treating their ailments.
“What I am doing today is in line with the Renewed Hope Agenda in Health, though I had started it 19 years earlier. It has emboldened me to do more and that is why I was able to make sure that the people who are not able to access primary health here, we are taking them to tertiary level where we will sponsor their treatment. That is the spirit of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu,” she said.
