Isolo LCDA
Sun. 8th Sept. 2024

Taking his commitment to ensuring abundant life for residents of Isolo LCDA further, the Council Chairman, Olasoju Adebayo in partnership with an NGO, The Eye Doctors, on Saturday, provided free eye screening and treatment for hundreds of residents across the council area. 

The healthcare program held on the council premises was aimed at commemorating this year’s World Sight Day. 

As early as 7 am, prospective beneficiaries had thronged the council secretariat to make the most of the free healthcare program which featured free Blood Pressure/Blood Sugar tests, free eye consultations, and distribution of reading glasses among others.

Olasoju, in his address, described the healthcare program as yet another testament to his commitment to promoting good health and making life more meaningful for the residents as he recalled his previous numerous strides in walking the talk on his all-encompassing health policy. 

He went on to commend the NGO for what he described as a commendable gesture of making Isolo their destination adding that the council area is ever-willing to partner with humanitarian organizations to carry out more meaningful and impactful programs. The council boss then led his cabinet members and councilors to undergo the various screenings.

One of the optometrists, who spoke on behalf of the organization, Dr. Marygold Okiyi Madu expressed delight in the partnership and support from the council authority. 

Her words: “We are so thrilled at how the council chairman Hon. Bayo Olasoju welcomed us and keyed into the initiative. If we hadn’t gotten the support of the council this programme may not have seen the light of the day. Some LGs are not so receptive but because we know that Isolo LCDA chairman is interested in the health sector the idea to bring the initiative here became logical,” she said. 

Speaking further: “Our focus is on dense cataracts which can only be corrected with Surgery. We’ve seen people with early cataracts which could be corrected with glasses. We are here for harvesting, to fish out eyes that need surgery. After this program and a similar one in Ajah, whoever we are booking for surgery will be contacted in October for surgery and also to properly commemorate World Sight Day,” she concluded. 

In her terse remark, the Council medical officer of Health, Dr. Anne Okonma assured of the council's commitment to partnership on similar programs in the future as beneficiaries hailed the council boss and the partnering NGO for prioritizing the people's sight.
