A non-governmental organisation, Feed the Multitude, has organised a medical outreach in Abakaliki, Ebonyi State, aimed at addressing the health needs of vulnerable residents and providing support to those unable to afford medical treatment.
The outreach, held at Pa Ngele Oruta Township Stadium in Abakaliki, was organised in partnership with Angelo Biotech International.
Speaking during the event, the Head of Feed the Multitude, Mrs Marian Emmanuel, said the initiative was inspired by the growing number of people facing health challenges without access to adequate medical care.
According to her, the organisation sought support from Angelo Biotech International, which responded by donating medicines and healthcare products for the outreach.
She explained that the donated products were aimed at supporting individuals battling various health conditions, including cancer-related illnesses, ovarian complications, rheumatism, arthritis, and stroke-related ailments.
Mrs Emmanuel added that other items distributed during the programme included toothpaste, sanitary products, shampoos, baby care items, and healthcare supplies targeted at improving personal hygiene and overall wellbeing.
She stressed the importance of proper medical testing before treatment, noting that the outreach involved medical doctors and laboratory scientists to ensure accurate diagnosis and effective care for beneficiaries.
Also speaking at the event, Chief Alex Jia said the organisation operates across Nigeria and several African countries, focusing on healthcare supplements approved by the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC).
He encouraged members of the public to explore the health products offered by the company.
The event also featured the public presentation of three books authored by Mrs Emmanuel, titled Change Your Mindset and Become Better in Life, The Changed Mindset, and Live Healthy Life Rightly with the Visionary.
A major highlight of the outreach was the distribution of medicines and food items valued at about N6 million to thousands of residents who attended the programme.
