The Pistis Foundation has launched a five‑day free medical and surgical outreach programme in Lagos, aiming to treat 5,000 residents for a range of health conditions.
During the event, volunteers will provide free consultations, diagnostic tests and surgical procedures to those in need. The initiative is part of the foundation’s ongoing efforts to improve access to healthcare in underserved communities.
While the exact list of conditions covered was not detailed, the outreach is expected to address common ailments and urgent surgical needs that often go untreated in the city’s densely populated areas.
Lagos, Nigeria’s largest city, faces significant challenges in healthcare provision, with many residents lacking affordable medical services. Initiatives such as this outreach are seen as vital to bridging that gap.
