In a remarkable initiative to honor International Women’s Day, the DOAM Foundation, in collaboration with PureLife Health, provided free medical services to 120 women in the Bariga community of Lagos. This outreach was designed to not only celebrate the achievements of women but also to address pressing health issues that many in the community face.
The event took place at the local community center, where health professionals conducted medical check-ups, screenings, and consultations. Services included basic health screenings, such as blood pressure checks, diabetes tests, and gynecological examinations. In addition, participants received educational materials on health and wellness, emphasizing the importance of regular check-ups and preventive care.
The initiative drew a significant turnout, with women of various ages eager to take advantage of the free healthcare services offered. Many expressed gratitude for the opportunity to access medical attention that might otherwise be out of reach due to financial constraints.
The collaboration between the DOAM Foundation and PureLife Health underscores a commitment to improving healthcare access in underserved communities. “Our aim is to empower women not just on International Women’s Day, but every day,” said a representative from the DOAM Foundation.
The outreach also featured discussions on women’s health issues, mental health awareness, and reproductive rights, fostering a sense of community and support among participants. The event not only addressed immediate health concerns but also sought to raise awareness of the importance of women’s health in the broader context of community well-being.
Reflecting on the day, many women shared their stories and expressed how the initiative made a positive impact on their lives. For some, it was their first time receiving such comprehensive medical attention, leading to newfound insights about their health.
As the outreach concluded, the organizers expressed hope to expand the initiative in the future, aiming to reach even more women in the Bariga community and beyond. This effort exemplifies the growing recognition of the critical role that accessible healthcare plays in empowering women and fostering healthier communities.
