Yoruba Nurses in North America remember their roots, hold medical outreach for Somolu residents

Some of the American-trained Nigerian Nurses of Yoruba descent who are practicing their profession in North America on Wednesday 28th, December 2024 held a one-day medical outreach at the newly completed Somolu Local Government administrative complex as residents turned out en-mass to check their health status
Speaking to the Medical Officer of Health (MOH), Somolu local government, Dr. Bidemi Agboola in her remarks thanked the Yoruba Nurses from North America for their exemplary community health initiative embarked on to rid the Somolu community of health challenges faced by the residents.
Dr. Agboola, however, noted that such bold moves by the Nurses in Diaspora will not only help reduce the health challenges but also reduce the financial burden of paying medical bills.
She continued, “It will be recalled that a few days ago, the First Lady of Lagos state, Dr. Ibijoke Sanwo-Olu just launched the second edition of a one-week health programme and today, we are having another health programme”.
“Though it’s not something the government can do alone, the corporate individuals and organizations like the one we are having at the moment can as well support the community and the government in whatever positive ways they deem fit”.
In conclusion, she urged the residents to avail themselves of every single opportunity at their fingertips.
In the same manner, one of the beneficiaries of the health programme, Mrs. Abosede Akinbode in her submission poured encomium on the Yoruba Nurses in North America for providing such a wonderful for the residents of Somolu community through health outreach, especially in this hard time where many hardly complete three square meal.
“I want to use this ample opportunity to thank the Yoruba Nurses from the diaspora for remembering their roots by holding a health initiative where residents are treated free of charge. I would also like to urge the residents to take advantage of this opportunity because this is an opportunity for them to check their health status without paying a dime”.
Additionally, a resident, Mr. Kola Adebayo, who also spoke to Somolu News online said the health initiative from the Yoruba Nurse in North America was a welcome development that will further put smiles on the faces of the residents by reducing the financial burden that comes the health challenges that many of them are facing and as well put them in a better and safe health status.
“It’s indeed an opportunity for an individual like me who has health challenges like toothache and high blood pressure. I have done all the necessary check-ups and I have been given all the needed medications to manage the situation”.
“For me, it’s a win-win situation, the financial burden has taken off and certainly, I now know my health status which I can manage without any hassle, many thanks to the Yoruba Nurse in North America health initiative”. He claimed.
