Eight federal lawmakers from Ekiti State have jointly organised a free medical outreach tagged BAO/MCA Mega Medical Outreach to deliver quality healthcare to residents across the three senatorial districts of the state.
According to a statement issued by the organisers, the medical intervention will commence on Monday, April 27, 2026, at the Fajuyi Pavilion, Ado-Ekiti, before moving to designated centres in Ekiti South, Central and Ekiti North senatorial districts.
The sponsors of the outreach are Senator Michael Opeyemi Bamidele (Ekiti Central), Senator Yemi Adaramodu (Ekiti South), Hon. Sola Fatoba, Hon. Akinlayo Kolawole, Hon. Rufus Ojuawo, Hon. Femi Bamisile, and Hon. Biodun Omoleye — all members of the National Assembly representing Ekiti State.
The medical team will provide a wide range of services at no cost to beneficiaries. These include general medical consultation, dental checks, blood pressure screening, blood sugar level tests, hepatitis B and C tests, eye examinations, provision of free drugs, family planning services, and health education sessions with medical professionals.
Speaking on the initiative, the lawmakers said the outreach was designed to complement the efforts of Governor Biodun Abayomi Oyebanji in improving access to quality healthcare delivery across the state.
They noted that the exercise targets vulnerable groups including the elderly, market women, artisans, students, and rural dwellers who often lack resources for routine medical care.
“This is part of our commitment to ensuring our people enjoy the dividends of democracy beyond infrastructure,” the statement read. “Health is wealth, and we are determined to bring healthcare closer to the grassroots where it is needed most.”
The lawmakers disclosed that over 10,000 residents are projected to benefit from the first phase of the outreach.
The organisers assured residents of adequate drugs, qualified personnel, and proper coordination at all designated centres.
They urged beneficiaries to turn out en masse and take advantage of the opportunity, stressing that early detection saves lives.
