The hospital said that the services were part of its corporate social responsibility aimed at complementing the effort of the government in providing qualitative and affordable health care services to all Nigerians.
The services provided include blood pressure checks, random blood sugar test, eye screening, free consultation including cardiology consultations.
Speaking with journalists at the venue, the spokesman to the hospital, Alhaji Umar Jibia, said that the event is a systematically planned policy of the hospital management aimed at improving the health status of the Nigerian citizens.
“As a responsible organisation, we have seen the efforts of both the federal and FCT governments to provide qualitative health care to the residents of the FCT hence, we feel we need to support them to bring qualitative healthcare to the citizens.
“We have been doing this for a while in Nigeria and we will continue to provide such free medical camps so that residents of the FCT will feel our presence and our impact in their health,” Jibia noted.
It would be recalled that in the past four consecutive years, the hospital conducted free medical services in many parts of the FCT including Wuse, Garki, Deidei and Dudu markets for traders and the public in conjunction with Health and Human Services Secretariat of the FCTA.
It has also provided free consultation for services such as joint (knee and hip replacement), back pain (spine surgery), deafness (Cochlear Implant Surgery), ENT, gynaecology (fibroid), IVF, cardiology, internal medicine and diabetes, general and laparoscopic surgery.
Others include urology and kidney transplant, dialysis, plastic and cosmetic surgery, weight loss surgery, HIV, haemorrhoids and fistula.
