Market Doctor and Betking Partner to Drive Environmental Sustainability and Maternal Health in Nigeria

Market Doctor and Betking have partnered to launch the “Month of Good” campaign, which is geared toward driving environmental sustainability and maternal health in Nigeria. The month-long campaign, which began on June 6, 2023, is part of Betking’s ongoing CSR drive, Betking Cares, which anchors the company’s commitment to positively impacting lives within communities.

The campaign is supporting medical outreaches across 8 states in Nigeria, including Osun State, Ekiti State, Delta State, Enugu State, Benue State, Kano State, Bayelsa State, and Abia State.

Market Doctor is providing maternal care at Primary Health Centers (PHCs) and distributing maternal kits containing birthing kits, diapers, baby lotion, baby oil, and baby soap. The organization is also distributing hygiene kits containing roll-on, toothpaste and toothbrush, shaving stick, condoms, and sanitary pads at the car parks.

The campaign aims to improve maternal health and reduce preventable deaths among women and children in Nigeria. Nigeria has one of the highest maternal mortality rates in the world, with an estimated 58,000 women dying each year from childbirth-related complications.

The campaign is also promoting environmental sustainability by planting trees and cleaning up communities. Betking has pledged to plant 10,000 trees during the campaign.

The “Month of Good” campaign is a valuable initiative that is helping to improve the lives of Nigerians in underserved communities. Market Doctor and Betking are committed to making a positive impact on the country, and this campaign is a shining example of their commitment.

Conclusion:

The “Month of Good” campaign is a timely and important initiative. Maternal health and environmental sustainability are two of the most pressing challenges facing Nigeria today. Market Doctor and Betking are to be commended for their commitment to addressing these challenges.

We encourage everyone to support the “Month of Good” campaign in any way they can. You can donate to Market Doctor, plant a tree, or clean up your community. Every little bit helps.

Market Doctor and Shalina Healthcare Partner to Provide Free Medical Outreach to Gbagi Market Community

Market Doctor, in partnership with Shalina Healthcare, recently carried out a medical outreach at Gbagi market in Ibadan, Oyo State. Beneficiaries received free medical consultation, free medical screening such as blood pressure checks, blood sugar checks, and malaria tests, and free medications.

The medical outreach was a success, with over 500 people receiving free medical services. Many of the beneficiaries expressed their gratitude to Market Doctor and Shalina Healthcare for providing them with access to essential healthcare services.

The Importance of Medical Outreaches

Medical outreaches are an important way to provide healthcare services to people in underserved communities. These communities often lack access to quality healthcare, and medical outreaches can help to bridge this gap.

Medical outreaches also provide an opportunity to educate people about important health issues and to promote preventive care. For example, many people in underserved communities are unaware of the importance of regular blood pressure and blood sugar checks. Medical outreaches can help to raise awareness of these issues and encourage people to seek regular medical care.

Market Doctor’s Commitment to Improving Healthcare Access

Market Doctor is committed to improving healthcare access for people in underserved communities. The organization works through a network of mobile clinics to provide free and affordable healthcare services to people in need.

Market Doctor also partners with other organizations, such as Shalina Healthcare, to carry out medical outreaches and provide additional healthcare services to underserved communities.

Conclusion

Market Doctor’s medical outreach at Gbagi market was a valuable initiative that helped to improve healthcare access for people in need. The organization is committed to improving the health and well-being of people in underserved communities.

We encourage everyone to support Market Doctor’s work in improving healthcare access. You can donate to the organization, volunteer your time, or simply spread the word about the importance of healthcare access for all.
