A wave of jubilation swept through Nteje community in Oyi Local Government Area of Anambra State as a young indigene, Miss Vivian Onwudiegwu, organized a two-day free medical outreach aimed at improving access to basic healthcare services for residents.
The outreach, which held from December 30 to 31 at the Nteje Central Field, attracted a large turnout of indigenes, residents, and people from neighboring communities who benefited from the exercise.
Beneficiaries received a wide range of free medical services, including the distribution of over 800 malaria medications, blood pressure drugs, acetaminophen and vitamins, HIV testing, blood sugar and blood pressure checks, general medical consultations, medicated reading glasses, and mosquito nets. All services were provided at no cost to the participants.
Addressing beneficiaries, the convener of the outreach and a graduate of Medical Anatomy, Miss Vivian Onwudiegwu, said the initiative was designed to help reduce the burden of malaria and make quality healthcare and essential medications accessible to people in rural and agrarian communities who may not be able to afford them.
She explained that the timing of the outreach was deliberate, noting that the festive season often comes with changes in lifestyle and diet. According to her, the medical exercise provided an opportunity for residents to assess their health status as they prepared to enter the new year, emphasizing that good health remains the foundation for productivity, longevity, and overall well-being.
The two-day 2025 Nteje Free Medical Outreach was widely described as a success, earning Miss Vivian Onwudiegwu commendations from community leaders and stakeholders, who praised her selfless initiative and commitment to grassroots healthcare delivery.
