No fewer than 130 indigent patients have benefitted from the first day of a three day free medical outreach organized by the former lawmaker who represented Onitsha South 1, in the Anambra State House of Assembly, Emeka Anaebonam to support governor Charles Soludo’s second election.

The outreach, according to Anaebonam, is in support of Governor Chukwuma Soludo over his numerous achievements in the state adding that his achievements will speak for him come 8 November gubernatorial election in the state.

“This is a free  special medical treatment in the sense that I have been organizing such occasionally but I decided to run this in appreciation of Governor Chukwuma Soludo for what he has been able to do in Fegge and Odoakpu, Onitsha South local Government area and by extension the entire state.

“He has done just in three years, 16 roads in Onitsha South which other past governors could not do during their stay. So it is also in appreciation of the Specialist hospital he opened in Fegge.

“The Governor has also promised tripling his efforts in what he is doing and I call on people to ensure that they vote for APGA come 8 November gubernatorial election.

Anaebunam who was a former chairman of Onitsha South Local Government area, reiterated that he feels satisfied treating indigent patients stating, “I do the free medicare from time to time to help the poor who could not be able to afford hospital bills.

“This project is capital intensive but I have to do it because a lot of people die out of poverty. It is organized to run for three days, for residents of Onitsha South but you can see that people from outside Onitsha South Local Government area are here and you can’t stop treating them as we don’t ask for identity, they are human beings,” he stated.

On number of patients treated on the kick off day, he said, “I30 patients have been treated and by the time we get to Thursday and Friday the number will increase but we are ready for them because it has been earmarked to be performed on the said period.

“We have cases of prostate, malaria, hypertension, diabetic patients, hypotension, fibroid, arteritis, etc and we administer drugs and did dispensary. We give them date to come for checkups,” he disclosed.
