Periodically, we do free screening within our neighbouring communities. We screen for diseases such as hypertensive diseases and diabetes.  Also, we have an outreach centre in Pakutu in Ogun state, where we provide health services to about 30 communities.
Challenges faced by the hospital. Power  supply is the major challenge, not only for us, but most organisations. However, we are coping with the support from the generating sets that the FG had provided for us. But the other challenge is the delay by patients before seeking health care. For instance, if it is cancer, when such is detected early and nipped in the bud, it is always better. But then, many of our cancer patients are seen when there cases are advanced.
People should get to do periodic checkups, for instance, we have a unit in the hospital that offers periodic screening. All these will help to ensure early diagnosis and treatment.
We must face some realities. If you take your car for regular checks, why is it that individuals never take care of their bodies before things get too bad?
