The Council of Higher Institutions (COHI), in partnership with the Muslim Students’ Society of Nigeria (MSSN) Lagos and MSSN-NIJ, recently held a significant pre-Ramadan medical outreach at the Nigerian Institute of Journalism in Ogba, Lagos. This initiative aimed to provide essential medical services and raise health awareness among attendees as the holy month of Ramadan approaches.
During the outreach, a team of qualified healthcare professionals offered various services, including free medical consultations, blood pressure checks, glucose level assessments, and health education workshops. The event drew a large audience, comprising students, faculty members, and local community residents, all eager to benefit from the medical services provided.
In his opening address, the President of COHI emphasized the importance of health in the observance of Ramadan, stating that maintaining physical well-being is crucial for spiritual reflection and community engagement during this sacred month. The outreach aimed not only to address immediate health concerns but also to educate participants on the importance of preventive care and healthy living.
Participants expressed gratitude for the initiative, highlighting the convenience of accessing medical care in their community. Many attendees noted that the timely outreach has helped them address health issues that they may have otherwise neglected.
In addition to physical health, the event also focused on mental well-being, with professionals available to provide counseling and support for students facing the pressures of academic life. Organizers hope that this holistic approach will encourage participants to prioritize both their physical and mental health during Ramadan.
The success of the pre-Ramadan medical outreach reflects the commitment of COHI and MSSN to serve their communities and promote a culture of health awareness and support. As Ramadan approaches, events like this play a vital role in ensuring that individuals are well-prepared both spiritually and physically for the month ahead.
