In line with his campaign promise to expand quality health coverage to the people of Osun State and to cushion the effects of fuel subsidy removal among the vulnerable people of the state, the Governor of Osun State, His Excellency, Senator Ademola Adeleke, has approved the commencement of the second edition of Imole Free Surgical and Medical Outreach that will hold in two centres of each of the three senatorial districts of Osun State.
Each edition of the Imole Surgical and Medical Outreach will benefit over two thousand five hundred persons in each centre of the three senatorial districts every week where the exercise will be taking place for two days.

Surgeries covered by the free medical outreach include Cataracts, Pterigium, Hernia, Hydrocele, Lipoma, Keloids and some swollen body parts.
Medical conditions like Hypertension, Diabetes, Malaria, Cough, Tuberculosis and other diseases will also be treated by a team of medical practitioners assembled by the state government to make the programme a huge success.
