HOPE EMERGE foundation, a non-profit charity organization base in Nigeria and United State of America gives free medical service to the residence of Alagomeji area, Yaba LCDA in Lagos during the weekend at her annual free medical outreach.
The founder and president of HOPE EMERGE, Mrs. Vivianne Adelagun said the purpose of the medical out reach to is to help people with basic medical needs by checking their health and also provide them with free drugs.
Mrs. Adelagun said since there is almost no access to affordable and preventive health care, not only in Nigeria but in Africa as whole so they had to come up with an action to decrease the number of sudden death among the youths, infants, pregnant women and widows in undeserved communities.
Mrs Adelagun added that the main reason why she found the Hope Emerge is to cater for the needs of the less privilege people at the local community and assist individual who can not pay medical bills most especially pregnant women and children.
She said the medical out reach is going to be every year as long as sponsors are willing to help the organization with financial assistance in order to extend it to other part of the country.
She also urge young ladies to focus more on their education in order to be a better person in life rather than depending on men for their survival in life.
Dr. Ahemd Ninolowo an expert in health matters has urged people to pay more attention and value on their health instead of spending money on parties ceremonies and material things.
He also advice the people and government to start respecting doctors, nurses and medical staff in Nigeria by placing them on high financial scale due to the number of years they spend in school and with years of experience in the medical practice.
He also encourage people to patronize trusted pharmacies while seeking a medical advice which is the right way to go.
Mr Omotayo Omoyeni who had to cancels his other appointments in order to attends the event commends Hope Emerge, the organizers and founder for organizing this medical out reach, he said that he was given treatment with his wife and four children after they had been checked by the doctors at the event.
