It is that time of year when the league rolls out its programs for the Yuletide season. The League is organizing its annual medical mission this year.
2024’s version is the 5th instalment (MM5) of the event aimed at providing free medical services such as diagnoses, treatments, surgeries and post-medical mission checkups.
*Medical Mission Outreach* is a free medical healthcare programme of the League aimed at assisting the ailing people of Isu-N’eliligborogu extractions in the treatment of their various illnesses in situations where they cannot afford the rising costs of basic medical care.
With the ever-expanding scope of the medical mission, this year’s phase is targeted at treating more people in the range of 3000-4000.
It will be held from 28
th—30th December, 2024. Three centres have been designated for this year’s event. They are Isu High School (main centre), and other sub-centres namely: Dim-na-Nume Umuozu Health Centre for Surgeries. Therefore with the increase in numbers, it has become imperative to partner with other sister bodies to make this year’s version a huge success. Our willing partners for this year’s edition will be announced at a later date.
However, this onerous task cannot be carried out alone and the League medical mission committee in conjunction with the executive body is using this medium to call on other well-meaning individuals within and outside the league to support this mission by giving freewill donations. Attached is a copy of the budget for the year’s medical mission edition.
