The Green Life Pharmaceuticals has held a medical outreach to residents in Iwaya, Yaba, Lagos in a bid to counter breakout of Malaria Fever in the community.

The medical outfit alongside Clearline HMO and Clinic Healthcare donated free tests and treatments alongside free drugs and mosquito nets to the beneficiaries.

At the event held at the Oba Palace in the community, the General Manager, Sales and Marketing, Clearline HMO, Olaoye Olubukola, said the donation was made to help the community reduce malaria-related morbidity and mortality rates.

Head of Marketing and Sales, Clinix Healthcare, Folake Obatoyinbo, who cited the rising cost of living in Nigeria, said preventing malaria is more economical than managing it.

Obatoyinbo stressed that the propensity of contracting malaria in the community is quite high. She proceeded to hint on the significance of urging residents to cultivate hygiene in keeping their drainages and environment clean as well as timely usage of mosquito-treated nets being handed to them.

General Manager, Sales and Marketing at Green Life Pharmaceuticals, Derrick Osondi, said, “The companies involved in the outreach have been consistent in the commitment to combating malaria, prioritising the people’s health over profits.

“Yes we do sell Anti-malaria our main products are anti-malaria, but still we don’t want to be seen as a company that is only interested in profit. We are also interested in people, so if there is anything we can do to prevent malaria so people don’t have to die from it, we’ll do it. It’s people above profit.”
