Akinbami highlighted that the outreach would positively impact the community by reducing health challenges and further strengthening the civil-military relationship.

“This medical outreach is part of our corporate social responsibility and follows the CNS strategic directive on civil-military relations,” Akinbami said.

He added that future outreach programmes would be carried out in other local government areas, such as Ekeremor and Southern Ijaw, to ensure a conducive living environment for all.

Mr Exodus Ebi, Chairman of the Community Development Committee in Tombia, lauded the Navy for providing free healthcare services, emphasising that it would greatly address the health needs of the community.

A beneficiary, Titus Ebiwari, also expressed gratitude for the initiative, revealing that he was unaware of his high blood pressure and low sugar levels until the free medical checkup. (NAN)(www.nannews.ng)
