Lagos State, NGO plan free surgery for 100 residents

Lagos State Government and a non-governmental organisation, Benjamin Olowojebutu Foundation (BOF), will be carrying out free surgery on 100 residents with lipomas, breast lumps, hernia and fibroid.

This is to mark Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu’s 100 days in office.

The Commissioner for Health, Prof. Akin Abayomi, disclosed at the weekend that the surgical intervention tagged ‘100 in 100′ will start with screening and selection of patients.

He said: “This surgical intervention programme tagged ‘100 in 100’ will commence with a five-day screening exercise for patients with lipomas, breast lumps, hernia and fibroid from September 2 to 6, 2019 at the General Hospital, Ijede. Surgeries will hold immediately after at designated general hospitals to be communicated to selected patients.”
