The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps has leveraged on its strengthened collaboration with one of the best HMOs in Nigeria, the United Healthcare International Ltd in improving the well being of the serving officers and some host.
According to the National Public Relations Officer for NSCDC National Headquarters, Babawale Afolabi in a Statement, the collaboration also aims to improve on grassroot security techniques and effective information gathering to forestall criminality.
Speaking at the opening ceremony the NSCDC Commandant General, Dr Ahmed Abubakar Audi said the partnership with the United Healthcare International has positively impacted the Corps in more ways than on.
Adding that in order to give back to the communities and further foster and improve on the existing synergy between NSCDC and host communities, the Medical Health Service Department of the NSCDC organized the medical outreach program to promote effective collaborations.
Delivering a goodwill message while representing the CG at the opening ceremony, ACG Ilelaboye Oyejide reiterated the commitment of the Corps to enhancing the health and well being of not only officers and men of the Corps but also the host communities.
“In carrying out our statutory mandates, it requires the support of the host communities for positive results and this is why the NSCDC is concerned about the state of health and wellness of the people.
“As an agency with the roles and responsibility of Disaster mitigation, we believe that the free medical outreach organized for the people will go a long way to further cement the existing working relationship of the Corps and the entire community.”
The NSCDC Boss hinted that the Medical outreach would be carried out in various communities as time unfolds, just as he noted that the Corps’ medical officers alongside the United Healthcare HMOs would be at Laminga Local Government Area of Nasarawa State for the first phase in the year.
