These include medical outreach programs, distribution of essential medicines, and healthcare sensitisation drives across rural communities in Delta State.
He assured residents that the foundation would continue to collaborate with government agencies to deliver quality health initiatives for vulnerable groups.
The foundation’s anniversary celebration also featured discussions on expanding future outreach, including extending health insurance coverage to neighbouring LGAs.
