On 13 September 2025, the Benson Adeyemi Foundation (BAF), in collaboration with House of Hope Church, successfully organized a medical outreach program at Ayekale, Osogbo. This initiative forms part of The Purple Initiative, BAF’s flagship program designed to deliver free and accessible healthcare services to underserved communities.
Objectives
The primary aim of this outreach was to provide residents of Ayekale with convenient access to health screenings, consultations, and medications, while raising awareness about preventive healthcare practices that can improve long-term well-being.
Activities
The program commenced at 9:00 a.m. and was supported by a skilled and compassionate team consisting of five nurses, one doctor, two pharmacists, one media team, five BAF team members, five interns, and eighteen volunteers.
Participants were guided through a structured process that included registration, height and weight checks, blood pressure and blood sugar screenings, consultations with the doctor, and free distribution of prescribed medications. The program concluded after all beneficiaries were attended to.
Outcomes and Impact
The outreach served a total of 100 beneficiaries, including 63 females and 37 males, with ages ranging from 11 to 70 years.
The program was widely appreciated by attendees, who expressed gratitude for the opportunity to access free, high-quality healthcare in their own community. Many participants indicated that the outreach encouraged them to pay closer attention to their health and seek further medical care where needed.
Conclusion
The Ayekale medical outreach fulfilled its goal of extending free, quality healthcare to underserved members of the community. By working hand-in-hand with House of Hope Church and local volunteers, BAF continues to bridge healthcare gaps and empower individuals to take proactive steps toward better health.
