Speaking earlier at the occasion, the lead Medical Consultant of the outreach, Dr Utake, said, “The vision for this medical outreach was born out of a deeply seated desire in the heart of our mother, Olori Atuwatse Ill to care for the most vulnerable indigenes of the kingdom, particularly the children and women.
“The goal is to continue to educate and care for various communities within the kingdom, providing expert medical care as well as palliatives and empowerment packages until Warri Kingdom becomes the envy of all, with more economically stable and self-reliant indigenes in its remotest areas.”
Out-patient units were also set up for HIV screenings, retroviral treatments, and COVID-19 tests.
