“We did quite varieties of checkups. A lot of tests were carried out. We also did general treatment and attended to people’s questions,” he said.
He added that “many people have pains around their body and so we have physiotherapists on ground to counsel and treat those passing through the pains. Dentists are also available to care for those with dental problems, respectively. In case of surgery, we use our ambulance to transport the patients to Sunnah Hospital, Dengi."
The expert further called on government and other stakeholders who have the means to make available to every Nigerian health insurance scheme because according to him, many people are battling with diverse health issues, but unfortunately, cannot help themselves.
