Speaking at the event which took place on 7th February, 2019, Queen Joy Chinonye Olebu said most of the people living in the rural areas do not pay adequate attention to their health, adding that it often doesn’t cost much to maintain a healthy Life.

“Prevention is better than cure and good health is the greatest wealth anyone can brag of as a human being. We brought this programme down to our people, not just to let them know what to treat, but to also help them avoid certain ways of life that will be harmful to their health”

“Aside the screenings, counselling and drugs that were administered, everyone felt loved which is what gives me a sense of fulfillment. They will go home knowing that they are loved and cherished”, she said.
