Hundreds of residents in Oreorokpe, the headquarters of Okpe Local Government Area in Delta State, have benefited from a free medical outreach organized by Senator Ede Dafinone.
The programme focused on helping poor and underserved people by providing free treatment, drugs, and eyeglasses.
Many residents who could not afford hospital care received medical attention during the exercise.
Speaking through his representative, Mr. Yegbeburu, the senator said the outreach was aimed at bringing healthcare closer to the people, especially those facing financial challenges. He added that the programme would cover four towns across Delta Central to reach more communities.
Senator Dafinone also noted that the outreach is part of his ongoing efforts to improve healthcare in the district, including building, renovating, and equipping health centres.
A team of medical workers led by Mr. Matthew Uruejoma handled the treatment and distribution of drugs to patients.
Community leaders and programme coordinators praised the initiative, describing it as timely and impactful.
Beneficiaries also expressed gratitude, saying the free medical care helped reduce their financial burden.
The senator reaffirmed his commitment to providing effective representation and bringing development closer to the people.
