THE Executive Chairman of the Igando-Ikotun Local Council Development Area, Comrade Lasisi Ayinde Akinsanya, has flagged off the Ilera Eko one-year free medical health plan for the vulnerable in the council at Egan Town and Isheri Osun Primary Health Centres (PHCs).
During his welcome speech, the Council helmsman thanked the State Governor, His Excellency Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu, for his love and passion to ensure that Lagosians are exposed to sound health care.
Akinsanya advised the people present to adhere to all instructions given to them by the health team of the Lagos State Health Management Agency (LASHMA).
After his welcome address, he and the principal officers of the council proceeded to the different sections of the LASHMA team for a tour and participated in the medical tests.
Some of the medical tests carried out include malaria, tuberculosis screening, high blood pressure, HIV, sugar level, and eye test, among others.
Similarly, the Eko Social Health Alliance (EKOSHA) team was available with their mobile laboratory van to support the free Ilera Eko Health plan.
Meanwhile, the Medical Officer of Health (MOH), Dr (Mrs) Uti-Momah, spoke extensively on the programme, adding that the health plan is beneficial to every family in Lagos State.
She noted that the target of the one-day registration was to get five hundred vulnerable people registered for the health plan, and so far, it has been a huge success.
She appreciated the Executive Chairman for his contributions towards the health plan registration.
