Mobihealth International partnered with the Medical Women’s Association of Nigeria (MWAN) Lagos, Lagos State Baptist Health Fellowship, and ProHealth International to provide free medical and surgical services to underserved communities in Badagry.
Dr Charles Fagbonhulu, Chief Program and Operating Officer made the announcement on Monday, the three-day outreach, will start on August 21st to 23rd under the theme “Touching Lives, Restoring Hope,” bringing life-saving healthcare to thousands at Badagry Grammar School, Our Lady Catholic Hospital Ibereko, Great Physician Hospital, and Harmony Hospital.
Speaking with Viyon Awhanse, a movie producer and passionate Badagry promoter, "I met the organiser at Abuja and proposed that her project should be extended to Badagry. A month later this happened," he said.
Residents will receive critical medical services, including hypertension and diabetes screenings, cataract surgeries, breast and cervical cancer screenings, dental care, and general health consultations.
Additionally, welfare support items such as food, clothing, and household essentials were distributed to those in need. Mobihealth played a pivotal role by integrating telehealth technology, enabling remote consultations with specialists and ensuring continuity of care beyond the outreach.
Dr Funmi Adewara, Founder & CEO of Mobihealth said, "This medical mission highlights Mobihealth’s commitment to bridging healthcare gaps in Nigeria through innovation and strategic partnerships." By combining on-ground medical expertise with digital health solutions, the initiative amplified access to quality, affordable healthcare for Badagry’s vulnerable populations.
