Nigerian Airforce gives free medical Treatment to prisoners
No fewer than 1,000 returning Internally Displaced Persons in Gwoza local government of Borno State, have received free medical treatment from the Nigerian Air Force.
The health intervention
dealt with issues which include eye related problems, deworming of children,
general checkup for nursing and pregnant mothers as well as distribution of
free mosquito nets.
Confirming the free
medical treatments to newsmen, the Director Humanitarian Services of the
Nigerian Air Force, Air Commodore Harold Onyechi noted that the outreach
programme would be continious.
The IDPS, who were
mostly elderly people, expressed delights over the efforts of the Air Force
which supplement the overstretched resources of a team of community health workers operating in Gwoza.
Also speaking to
newsmen, the commanding officer of the composite group medical Centre, wing
commander Solomon Irmiya, disclosed future health intervention plans to be
embarked by the Nigerian air force.
It is worthy to note that the health
intervention is the first to be embarked by the Nigerian Air Force in Gwoza
since its liberation
