The free medical service was supervised by Col. Issah Abdullahi, the Commander of 302 Artillery Regiment (General Support), Onitsha.
Regimental Medical Officer in charge of the medical outreach, Captain Casmir Okpe told journalists at the Azia Town Hall that the common ailments of the people in the area were hypertension and arthritis among the elderly, while malaria and upper respiratory tract infection were predominant among the children.
“We did not call them and they decided to come and render medical service to our people. I am happy and excited because it is a kind of honour to our people.
“God has made them come here and we pray that God will strengthen them in their work and protect them while doing their job of rendering service to humanity.”
