O³ Medical Outreach reaches 111 residents, expands access to healthcare in Lagos community
The third edition of the O³ Medical Outreach provided free healthcare services to 111 residents of the Iganmu-Orile community in Lagos, bringing essential medical care closer to underserved populations.
Held on May 23, 2026, at RCCG Prince of Peace, 44/45 Sari Street, Iganmu-Orile, Lagos, the outreach transformed the church premises into a temporary healthcare center where residents received medical consultations, eye care services, pediatric assessments, and health education.
According to the organisers, a total of 111 beneficiaries, comprising 29 children and 82 adults, accessed free healthcare services during the one-day event. Medical professionals, including general physicians, pediatricians, ophthalmologists, and optometrists, attended to a wide range of health concerns.
Services provided included general medical consultations, health assessments, eye examinations, vision screening, prescription and distribution of eyeglasses, pediatric consultations, and health education aimed at promoting healthier lifestyles and preventive care.
For many beneficiaries, the outreach represented an opportunity to access healthcare services that might otherwise have been unavailable or unaffordable.
One of the beneficiaries, Mrs. Iwenika Blessing of Emilious Street, Amukoko, attended the outreach with her three children. The family received medical consultations and guidance from healthcare professionals. Mrs. Blessing expressed appreciation to the organizers, noting that she has benefited from the outreach for three consecutive years.
Another beneficiary, Mr. Olaniyi, received both general medical and eye care services. He commended the organisers for sustaining the initiative and acknowledged its positive impact on members of the community.
The O³ Medical Outreach is fully sponsored by Dr. Olaoye Oludare and his family. According to the organisers, the initiative was established to demonstrate practical compassion through healthcare delivery and to improve access to quality medical services for underserved communities. The name “O³” is derived from the initials of Dr. Olaoye and his family members, reflecting a shared commitment to service and community impact.
Speaking after the event, Dr. Olaoye expressed gratitude to the medical professionals, volunteers, partners, and supporters who contributed to the success of the outreach. He also unveiled plans for the fourth edition of the programme in 2027.
As part of the proposed expansion, the organisers hope to facilitate free surgical procedures for up to 40 individuals who require medical operations but are unable to afford the associated costs.
To achieve this goal, the O³ Medical Outreach is seeking partnerships with healthcare institutions, pharmaceutical companies, non-governmental organizations, corporate bodies, faith-based organizations, medical professionals, and individuals committed to improving healthcare access in underserved communities. Organisers said the initiative remains focused on delivering quality healthcare, restoring hope, and improving the well-being of vulnerable populations through sustainable community-based interventions.
