In a continuous effort to provide accessible healthcare to underserved communities, Brightstar-Care Specialist Hospital and Old People’s Home recently held a free medical outreach at the Immaculate Heart of Mary Catholic Parish in Orji, Owerri. The outreach, which saw over 300 people in attendance, provided vital health check-ups and health education to the community, many of whom received their first medical consultation in years.
This initiative is part of Brightstar-Care's larger mission to bridge the healthcare gap in rural and urban communities, offering services that are often out of reach due to cost or location. Attendees of the outreach were able to undergo various health screenings, including blood pressure checks, blood sugar tests, and general wellness exams. In addition, they received valuable health education on managing common ailments and preventing chronic diseases.
The community members expressed their gratitude for the opportunity to access these services, highlighting how rare it is to have such quality healthcare brought to their doorstep. For many, this was their first interaction with a healthcare professional in years, underscoring the importance of such outreach programs in addressing unmet healthcare needs.
Brightstar-Care aims to continue these medical outreaches as part of its corporate social responsibility, ensuring that healthcare becomes a reality for all Nigerians, regardless of their economic or social standing. This outreach at Orji is just one of many planned efforts to improve the health and well-being of individuals in local communities across Imo State.
