NEWS RELEASE

OSOGBO – 16/08/2023 – Osunstate.gov.ng Governor Ademola Adeleke has flagged off the second round of Imole Medical Outreach with an estimated 30, 000 citizens expected to benefit from all forms of surgeries.Conducting the exercise at Ilesa General Hospital on Wednesday, the Governor affirmed his belief in the philosophy that it takes a healthy nation to build a wealthy nation, assuring the populace that he will continue to invest the State resources to improve the health status of our people. “Today, we have come again, as a government that understand the needs of its people to reach out to our citizens in order to alleviate their medical challenges.We have again made provisions to take care of various medical cases.

This will expand funding capacity and eventually deepen the delivery capacity of stakeholders”, the Governor noted.Speaking at the occassion , the Chairman of the Board of Osun State Teaching Hospital, Hon Niyi Owolade commended Governor Adeleke for his passion for caring for the people of Osun State.”Osun people rejoice that a leader who truly love them is in charge.
