The All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate in the August 15 Osun State governorship election, Mr. Bola Oyebamiji (AMBO), has pledged to revitalise Primary Healthcare Centres (PHCs) across the state if elected.
The pledge came as no fewer than 1,500 residents of Ode-Omu and neighbouring communities in Ayedaade Local Government Area benefited from a free medical outreach organised in his honour by Engr. Kazeem Opejin.
The outreach featured free blood pressure and blood sugar checks, weight and Body Mass Index (BMI) assessments, medical consultations, medications, health education and counselling, as well as eye care services. More than 1,000 pairs of eyeglasses and eye drops were distributed to beneficiaries.
Speaking at the event, Oyebamiji, who was represented by his wife, Dr. Sekinat Oyebamiji, said revitalising primary healthcare centres would improve access to quality healthcare, particularly for rural communities.
