Egbin Power has reiterated its commitment to ensuring healthy lives and well-being of its communities through its seventh annual medical outreach, aligning with the United Nations’ (UN) Sustainable Development Goal 3 (SDG 3) – Good Health and Well-being.
Egbin Power made the commitment at the recent three-day medical outreach, which was organised in partnership with a Non-Governmental Organisation (NGO).
The medical outreach offered a range of free medical services including cardiovascular, arthritis, dental, eye-check, diabetes test, malaria treatment, hepatitis screening, and blood pressure examination for residents in Egbin Power’s host communities – Egbin, Ijede, and Ipakan in Lagos State.
Speaking on the event, the company’s Head of Corporate Communications and Branding, Felix Ofulue, emphasised the firm’s commitment to the health and well-being of its host communities.
Ofulue said: “At Egbin Power, we recognise that the health and well-being of our host communities is crucial to our success. This medical outreach programme is one of the ways we demonstrate our commitment to giving back to our host communities.
“It is also in alignment with our commitment to SDG 3 and we believe that access to quality healthcare is a fundamental right, and we will continue to work towards making it a reality for all.”
