Mobile Clinic Medical Outreach program to Awgu Local Government Area

We took the Mobile Clinic Medical Outreach program to Awgu Local Government Area, where more than 700 residents received free medical care during a one-day outreach held at the Awgu LGA Headquarters. The outreach was organised in partnership with the Office of the First Lady, Enugu State.

Throughout the day, residents were screened and treated for conditions including malaria, hypertension, diabetes, and HIV. Eye examinations and body mass index checks were also carried out, with free prescription eyeglasses distributed to those with visual impairments. Children received deworming treatment, while all participants had access to general medical consultations with qualified professionals. Health education sessions ran alongside these services, encouraging healthier habits and early detection of preventable illnesses.

The medical team was led by Professor Uchenna Agu, Chairman of the Enugu State Hospital Management Board, whose leadership ensured a smooth and professional delivery of care. Dr JohnPaul Nnagbo delivered an impactful session on cervical cancer awareness and the importance of vaccination, while Nurse Philomena Asogwa provided practical insights on everyday wellness and preventive healthcare.

Comrade Egodi Igwe, Managing Director of Custos Care Foundation, reaffirmed the Foundation’s mission to make healthcare more inclusive and within reach for every community. The Executive Chairman of Awgu LGA, Hon Uche Okolo, expressed his appreciation for the initiative and commended Mrs Mbah and His Excellency, Governor Peter Mbah, for their commitment to strengthening healthcare systems at the grassroots.

By taking medical care directly to the people, we restore dignity, improve lives, and build stronger communities from the ground up.

We move closer to the future we envision, one local government at a time.
