Lagos: Doctors screen civil servants for hypertension, others

Lagos State medical doctors, on Saturday treated free of charge over 1000 civil servants under the employ of the state government for various ailments including hypertension, diabetes, malaria and other ailments. The participants benefited from free medical check-up, treatment, and counselling, to strengthen their health toward boosting productivity in the state.

Saheed said the exercise was to identify hidden health challenges among workers, provide free medications, counselling and referrals to appropriate General Hospitals or Primary Health Centres for further treatment to those who require it. “In the last few years, we have heard about cases of people who slump and die in their offices, and because we do not want that in Lagos State, that is why we have come to check their health status,” he said.
