The Senator representing Akwa Ibom North-East Senatorial District, Senator Aniekan Bassey, has concluded arrangements to commence a free medical and surgical outreach across the nine local government areas of the Senatorial District.
The outreach, which is designed to provide accessible and affordable healthcare to constituents, will feature general surgeries, eye tests, eye surgeries, and the distribution of free eyeglasses.
It is scheduled to hold in three phases as follows: Uyo/Uruan/Nsit Atai/Ibesikpo Asutan Federal Constituency, Model Primary Health Center, Ikot Nkwo, Ibesikpo Asutan LGA, from Wednesday, September 17 – Friday, September 19, 2025.
Etinan/Nsit Ubium/Nsit Ibom Federal Constituency, Model Primary Health Centre, Ikot Ekwere, Nsit Ubium LGA, from Wednesday, September 24 – Friday, September 26, 2025.
Itu/Ibiono Ibom Federal Constituency, St. Theresa Hospital, Use Abat, Ibiono Ibom LGA, from Thursday, October 2 – Saturday, October 4, 2025. The daily activities will run from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm.
Speaking about the outreach, Senator Bassey said, “Healthcare is one of the most critical needs of our people, yet it remains out of reach for many, especially those in rural areas. This outreach is a practical way of bringing free medical and surgical services to our communities. It is my firm belief that a healthy people will always be a productive people, and I remain committed to improving the welfare and wellbeing of every constituent across the Akwa Ibom North-East Senatorial District.”
Senator Bassey therefore enjoined all residents of the Senatorial District to take full advantage of the outreach by attending the centers closest to them.
