Gbenga Daniel Launches Free Medical Outreach for 754 Residents

On October 12, Otunba Gbenga Daniel, the former Ogun State Governor and current senator representing Ogun East, inaugurated a free medical outreach aimed at benefiting at least 754 residents through various surgical procedures and medical consultations. This 14-day initiative, organized in collaboration with Sharing Hope Medical Mission, Eye Foundation Hospital, and Redeemer’s Health Village, marks the 25th anniversary of the Gateway Front Foundation, which Daniel founded in 2001.

The outreach includes eye surgeries, plastic surgeries, orthopaedic care, and general medical consultations at 13 locations across Ogun State. Daniel, represented by the foundation’s medical consultant Dr Bankole Osisanya, stated that the patients were identified through pre-screening exercises at 12 centres.

The initiative is designed to enhance healthcare accessibility for those unable to afford medical treatment, with a focus on humanitarian efforts rather than political motivations. Dr Emeka Anyanwu from Sharing Hope Medical Mission urged increased government investment in Nigeria's healthcare sector to improve citizens' well-being.
