Avu, Owerri – In celebration of World Physiotherapy Week, Brightstar-Care Specialist Hospital, Avu, once again demonstrated its unwavering commitment to providing quality healthcare to underserved communities by partnering with a team of dedicated physiotherapists to deliver a free medical outreach. This initiative brought critical physiotherapy services, free medical tests, and medication to hundreds of residents in Avu and surrounding areas.
As healthcare costs continue to rise, access to medical services remains a challenge for many communities. Recognizing this gap, Brightstar-Care Specialist Hospital has consistently organized free medical outreaches, creating opportunities for people who may otherwise lack access to essential healthcare services. The recent outreach, held during World Physiotherapy Week, brought together an expert team of physiotherapists who offered free consultations, physiotherapy sessions, health screenings, and medications to Avu residents.
One of the beneficiaries of this initiative, Dr. Sir Josiah Baron Ugochukwu, State Chairman of the National Union of Pensioners, Imo State Chapter, expressed his gratitude to Brightstar-Care. "The management of Brightstar-Care Specialist Hospital has shown continuous philanthropic support, not only to members of the Union but also to the entire state," he noted. He praised the hospital's efforts, adding, "Through their numerous free medical outreaches, Brightstar-Care has saved countless lives and brought quality healthcare to communities in dire need."
The outreach focused primarily on physiotherapy, an area of healthcare often overlooked, particularly in rural communities. Many residents benefited from free physiotherapy sessions aimed at alleviating physical pain, improving mobility, and enhancing overall quality of life. The sessions were particularly valuable for elderly participants, people living with chronic pain, and individuals recovering from injuries.
The team of physiotherapists conducted assessments, provided personalized care plans, and educated attendees on self-care and exercises that could help them maintain their physical health. Additionally, the medical outreach included essential health screenings, where residents received free tests and medications to address common ailments and ensure early detection of potential health issues.
Dr. Ugochukwu, representing the pensioners in Imo State, highlighted the significance of this outreach for elderly residents and Union members. Many senior citizens in the region face mobility challenges and other age-related health issues that require ongoing physiotherapy. With Brightstar-Care’s outreach, they were able to access high-quality physiotherapy and medical care close to home, free of charge.
"This initiative goes beyond just treating symptoms. It’s about educating, empowering, and helping residents maintain a better quality of life," Dr. Ugochukwu remarked. "The team of physiotherapists has shown great benevolence by offering their services, and Brightstar-Care continues to serve as a pillar of support for our community."
