Ondo State, Partners NYSC on Qualitative Healthcare Services

In an address, the State Coordinator, Mrs Victoria Nnenna Ani, said that NYSC came up with the idea of the Health Initiative for Rural Dwellers (HIRD) programme as a means to reach out to the rural dwellers who, under normal circumstances, were unable to access medical attention as a result of neglect and remoteness of their locations.

The State Coordinator disclosed that the program aimed at mobilising volunteer corps medical personnel to rural settings to complement government at all levels to give free and qualitative healthcare services.

Also, the Adapogun Oripogun of Ipogunland, Oba Raphael Ojo, urged the community dwellers to take advantage of free medical services at the NYSC to improve their health conditions.

Before the medical investigation and administration of drugs, some corps medical personnel gave health talks on critical health conditions such as blood pressure, diabetes, physical well-being, and balanced diet, as well as discourse on open defecation.
