Sanwo-Olu sponsors medical bills of 8,000 Lagos residents

About 8,000 Lagos State residents have benefitted from a free medical outreach sponsored by Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu.

Dr Oreoluwa Finnih, Senior Special Assistant to the Governor on Health, disclosed this in a statement signed by Tunbosun Ogunbanwo, Director, Public Affairs, in the state’s Ministry of Health.

Finnih said the free medical programme organised was to improve access to quality and efficient healthcare delivery at the grassroots aimed at achieving universal health coverage, particularly in communities with less significant health coverage.
