More than 50,000 residents of Osun State have benefited from the Imole free surgical and medical outreach program, an initiative launched by Governor Ademola Adeleke. The governor made the announcement Tuesday during the flag-off of the program’s fourth edition at the State Specialist Hospital in Asubiaro, Osogbo.
Adeleke said the outreach has provided life-changing medical care to individuals who could not afford treatment. The governor emphasized that improving healthcare was a central part of his administration’s five-point agenda.
“This initiative has become a lifeline for the masses, offering fast and accessible medical and surgical care to those in need,” Adeleke said. “Public feedback shows that people eagerly await each new round of the program.”
Since its launch, the program has focused on delivering essential healthcare to underserved communities across the state. Adeleke also highlighted other achievements in the health sector, including the upgrade of over 200 primary healthcare centers, which now feature 24-hour power and water supplies.
This year’s outreach will take place in six zones across the state: Osogbo, Ilesa, Iwo, Ikirun, Ife, and Ede.
