The Carter Foundation, in collaboration with the Association Resident Doctors, Nnamdi Azikiwe University Teaching Hospital Branch (ARD-NAUTH), delivered free medical services to approximately 650 individuals in Anambra state in celebration of Chief Izuchukwu Onwugbenu's birthday.

The medical services provided included clinical consultations, antenatal care, vital signs checks, ultrasound scanning, laboratory tests, ophthalmology services, drug dispensary, and counselling. Dr. Nwabueze Okeke, President of ARD-NAUTH, reported that a team of over 20 medical professionals participated in the outreach.
