No fewer than 500 residents of Onitsha have benefited from free medical services, food assistance and spiritual support through a two day humanitarian outreach organised by the member representing Onitsha North I and II Constituencies in the Anambra State House of Assembly, Hon. Mimi Azikiwe, in collaboration with Power & Glory Generation (PAGG).
The programme, held on Nov. 10 and 11, combined healthcare services with humanitarian assistance, providing relief to residents, including those requiring medical attention for various health conditions.
As part of the outreach, beneficiaries received medical consultations and treatment, while food items, including rice, beans and garri, were distributed to support households facing economic challenges.
The initiative also featured prayers and spiritual encouragement, bringing together healthcare delivery, compassion and faith to address the physical and spiritual well being of participants.
Speaking on the success of the programme, Hon. Azikiwe expressed appreciation to Power & Glory Generation, medical personnel, volunteers, partners and other supporters whose contributions made the outreach possible.
She described the initiative as a demonstration of practical public service, emphasising the importance of community driven interventions that respond to people’s immediate needs and improve their quality of life.
The two day exercise highlighted the value of partnerships between public office holders, faith based organisations and other stakeholders in expanding access to essential healthcare and providing support for vulnerable members of society.
