The Global Queen of Ndidaland Charity Foundation in Conjunction with the Centre for Disability and Special Needs Research (CENDASNER), Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka has organized a free medical outreach for the physically challenged students as well as staff of the institution.

The free medical outreach bankrolled by the Founder of the Charity Foundation, Enyi Ezenwanyi May Egbunike Agbakoba was held on Friday, 6th September 2024 at the CENDASNER Premises, UNIZIK.

The medical outreach offered medical services such as Free Malaria Test, Free Typhoid Test, Sugar Test, High Blood Pressure, HIV Test, Hepatitis B Test, Eye Massager and Body Massager.

Addressing the media during the free medical outreach, the Manager of Global Queen of Ndidaland Charity Foundation, Arthur Udo stated that the medical outreach by the benefactor was as a result of her love and concern for the people and humanity, a noble act which Enyi Ezenwanyi Agbakoba has consistently done for over 30 years.

Udo noted that the medical outreach which has been done in all the five states of the South East Geopolitical zone and beyond has seen over 5000 recipients benefiting from the act of love and benevolence geared towards wiping the tears of the needy and downtrodden in the society. The manager of the charity foundation offered that the free medical outreach holding at UNIZIK is based on the partnership with CENDASNER for people with disabilities and staff of the institution.

"We are delighted to see that through this free medical outreach we have been able to put smiles on the faces of the physically challenged and staff members of UNIZIK all made possible by the founder of the Global Queen of Ndidaland Charity Foundation, Enyi Ezenwanyi May Egbunike Agbakoba.

"We have been able to do this through our partnership with CENDASNER at UNIZIK, this is our second time of touching lives here as last month we donated wheel chairs and crutches for the physically challenged. Our boss have done this because of the love she has for humanity to wipe the tears of the less privileged and the downtrodden. It may interest you to know that over 5000 persons have benefitted from this medical outreach across the nation and we intend to take that to other places such as the North so that they can also feel the impact of her milk of kindness and magnanimity," Udo said.

In his remarks, the Director of CENDASNER, Professor Williams Emeka Obiozor eulogized the founder of the Global Queen of Ndidaland Charity Foundation for her continuous act of kindness and support to not just the less privileged and the physically challenged but the University at large. Prof. Obiozor informed that it is the second time the charity foundation is coming to the University for the philanthropic gesture as the first was in the form of donation of wheel chairs and crutches to the physically challenged.

The Professor of Adult Education and Special Needs appreciated Enyi Ezenwanyi May Egbunike Agbakoba for her benevolence and kind disposition while expressing hope that the medical outreach will become an annual affair in the institution. The scholar disclosed that the free medical outreach will offer a lucky dip where one of the students will win a brand new laptop.

On his part, one of the recipients, Mr. Emmanuel Chudi described the medical outreach as a welcome development considering the state of the nation as a lot of people are passing through difficulties and financial challenges. He thanked the Charity Foundation for the outreach while calling on other humanitarian organizations and philanthropists to emulate the kind gesture of Enyi Ezenwanyi May Egbunike Agbakoba.

The medical outreach featured various medical tests for the physically challenged and staff of the institution, medical counselling and rehabilitation while a visually impaired student from Department of Mass Communication, Master Chukwuka Miracle Emela smiled home with the brand new laptop on offer from the lucky dip moment.
