The Nigerian Medical Association, Ondo State, has unveiled its plan to build a 59-bed health clinic in Akure, the state capital. The Chairman of the Association, Dr Wale Oke, in a statement, said the facility will help build a health-conscious society and provide quality health care to the people of Ondo State.

 

He said, “Knowing the importance of accessible health care and also having the geopolitical spread of the state in mind, effective and accessible health centres are going to be built by the association in strategic locations in the state. This is to enable quick and accessible medical attention by medical and dental professionals.

“Using the strength of the spread of our members all over the state, a regular intensive public health education is going to be embarked upon all over the state, educating the populace on the essence of good health and the parameters for achieving and maintaining good health. This will also be laced with the Rural Area Free Medical Checkup programme.”

 

Oke added that the inauguration and foundation laying ceremony will hold in Akure on October 15 to raise funds for the completion of the facility and other projects.
