No fewer than 5000 people from the four local government areas of Akoko in Ondo State, will benefit from a free medical outreach programme initiated by a Non-Governmental Organisation (NGO), Miteda Wellness Initiative. This was disclosed during a press conference in Thursday by the initiator of the outreach, Dr Mrs Adefunmilola Williams-Daudu, who said the programme was specially designed to reach people living in the rural communities but lacked medical facilities. She said apart from attending to the health of these people in the rural communities, the NGO has assisted in funding the education of some pupils in some schools. She disclosed that medical experts including doctors, nurses, laboratory scientists and other health workers from all parts of the world would be visiting the communities for the three days medical outreach. She said the medical programme will take place at Ikaram Akoko in the Akoko North West local government area of the state, saying “the medical initiative by Miteda Wellness Initiative would help reduce deaths among rural inhabitants.
