SYNLAB Nigeria led a team of medical experts to Bariga community in Lagos to give free medical services to over 2000 residents in its quest to meet its social corporate responsibility.
Doctors-on-Air alongside Classic FM and Naija FM were on top gear to render the medical services part of activities the company has designed to give back to the society.
Some of the services rendered included: dental care, eye screening, skin care, blood pressure checks, breast and cervical cancer screening, hepatitis screening, blood sugar checks and cardiology among others.
Speaking on the exercise, Managing Director, SYNLAB, Dr. Pamela Jackson-Ajayi, described the healthcare mission as humanitarian. “On our programme, we preach prevention and early detection. We propagate that people should go for screening.”
She, however, noted that although they preach early detection and free screening, not many can afford it. “There are some people who cannot afford to go for test. Because we are conscious of this fact, we decided to bring free test and screening to the people”.
According to Ajayi, SYNLAB had earlier given over 1,500 business women vouchers at a discounted price for general wellness check at Ilupeju.
“Formerly known as PathCare, SYNLAB has exhibited a penchant for high quality service delivery and commitment to the communities where it operates over the years. An expansion exercise in the last three years has seen the company serve more Nigerians,” she added.
Reacting to the outreach, the Chairman Bariga LCDA, Kolade Alabi lauded the organisation for choosing Bariga. “We thank all the organisers of this event. I must say that I am impressed with the level of turn out from our people. It shows that they take their health seriously”.
