The President of the Rotary Club of Abuja Highrise, Rotarian Ishaku Maigida, has reaffirmed the club’s commitment to providing humanitarian services for women, children and other vulnerable groups in the Abuja Municipal Area Council (AMAC).

Maigida stated this during a maternal and child health outreach that provided free medical services to residents of Yimitu Village in Waru District, Garki Chiefdom, Abuja.

The one-day outreach delivered essential healthcare services to scores of women, children and other residents, underscoring Rotary’s commitment to improving the wellbeing of underserved communities.

Speaking at the event, Maigida said the intervention reflected Rotary’s motto, “Service Above Self,” noting that the initiative was designed to address the immediate healthcare needs of vulnerable groups, particularly mothers and children.

As part of the programme, expectant mothers received delivery kits to support safe childbirth, while children were immunised against polio to help prevent vaccine-preventable diseases.

Residents also benefited from free medical consultations by doctors, health screening for common ailments, eye examinations, routine medical checks, including blood pressure, temperature and weight measurements, as well as free medications for patients diagnosed with various health conditions.

Maigida said the outreach was aimed at bringing quality healthcare closer to rural communities with limited access to medical services.

He added that the initiative demonstrated the Rotary Club of Abuja Highrise’s resolve to continue implementing people-centred projects that improve lives and promote healthier communities across the Federal Capital Territory.

According to him, the successful outreach marked another milestone in the club’s humanitarian efforts.

“The journey has just begun,” he said, adding that the club remains committed to expanding its impact through sustainable, community-based interventions.
