The spokesman said the outreach, which is expected to end today, attracted a large turnout of beneficiaries who expressed satisfaction with the medical services received from the NAF Medical Team.

“The people also expressed their gratitude to the NAF for the humanitarian gesture and for remembering them in their time of need.

The medical services provided during the first day of the outreach include mass de-worming of children, medical check-ups.

“Distribution of treated mosquito nets, eye glasses and drugs while patients with surgical cases were also operated upon,” he said.

Adesanya said that Head of Local Government Administration in the council, Alhaji Almustapha Dan-Musa, appreciated the NAF for the kind gesture and the provision of free healthcare for the people of Jibia.
