“The NYSC-IFAN mobile healthcare initiative will help to optimise/maximise our huge extensive diasporas, harness the skill/wisdom of senior medical/healthcare professionals through inter-generational relationship with the youth, and promote the culture of volunteerism, community development and corporate social responsibility in our national health care delivery- a major culture/system of developing and enhancing national resilence.
NYSC Director, Community Development Service and Special Projects Abdulrazaq Salawu, decried the pitiable situation where most rural dwellers in the country struggle to access medical facilities. He noted that the Corps, in its efforts to improve access, ensure doctors, pharmacists, laboratory scientists, and Corp members in relevant fields were taken to a particular community within a local government area to treat health cases for the one year of their service to their fatherland.
Earlier, Dick-Iruenabene Uforma, a director at the NYSC, maintained that over the years, the Corps has proven to be a veritable vehicle for socio-economic mobilization and an enduring catalyst that has continued to help develop every segment of national life.All rights reserved.
