Ibom Developers, in a bid to uplift host communities, organized a two-day medical outreach under the theme ‘Good Health: Your Greatest Asset.’

The initiative provided free medical assistance to 1800 individuals, including men, women, and children, addressing a range of health issues including high blood pressure, skin rashes, cough, malaria, typhoid, and other ailments in Emereoke Kingdom, Eastern Obolo LGA, and Akwa Ibom State between March 27 and 28.

Dignitaries present were Elder Johnson Jonah Adasi, Advisor to the Village Head of Emereoke II; Chief Ngofah Emphraim, Family Head of Emereoke I; Mrs. Elizabeth Jonah Adasi, Women Leader of Emereoke II; Mrs. Charity Alnon, Women Leader of Emereoke I; and Chief Bartholomew James Timothy, Village Head of the Okwa-Obolo Community in Emereoke Kingdom. 

During the medical outreach, Elder Johnson Jonah Adasi, said, “Good health allows us to fully enjoy and appreciate every aspect of life. We must maintain good habits that protect our well-being as a community.

“More than just the absence of illness, health is a state of complete wholeness that thrives on self-care. Adopting measures that support and maintain wellness gives people the ability to live fulfilled lives and make meaningful contributions to their communities.”

Expressing gratitude for the initiative, Mrs. Charity Alnon added, “Health is a gift to all of us. Adopting a healthy lifestyle requires discipline. If we can achieve that, we will enjoy the benefits that it brings.”

Ibom Developers’ medical outreach programmes have been instrumental in providing free medical support to host communities in Akwa Ibom, promoting sustainability in healthcare. The initiatives focus on treatments, preventive measures, and early detection to improve overall health outcomes and enhance residents’ quality of life.
