DEPOWA Flags Off Medical Outreach, Donates Equipment to DHQ Medical Centre

The Defence and Police Officers’ Wives Association (DEPOWA), today flagged off a 3-day medical outreach at the DHQ medical centre, Abuja.

The outreach, which aimed at creating awareness on common health conditions and preventive practices, as well as providing free medical services to wives of non-commissioned officers and adolescent girls from tri-service schools.

Speaking at the flag-off ceremony, the President of DEPOWA, Mrs. Oghogho Musa, said that the outreach was in line with her passion for supporting quality provision of maternal and child health services.

She noted that Nigeria has one of the highest death rates among women and children, hence the need for initiatives like this.

Mrs Musa also used the occasion to donate medical equipment to the DHQ Medical Centre, Mogadishu Cantonment.

The equipment included a CTG machine to monitor the fetal heart when a woman is in labour, a phototherapy machine, an ultrasound machine, and examination couches and screens.

The DEPOWA President said that the donation was made to show support to the good work the management of the Centre has been doing and to encourage them to do more.

She expressed confidence that the equipment will help to improve the quality of healthcare provided at the facility.

While recounting some of the events that informed the initiative, she said, “The DEPOWA medical outreach is expected to reach over 400 women and girls. The services provided will include free cervical cancer screening, blood pressure check, deworming, and medical check-up.
