The State Governor, His Excellency Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu, was commended by the Council Chairman during his welcoming address for his dedication and love in making sure that Lagosians have access to quality healthcare.
Akinsanya urged everyone in attendance to follow the guidelines set forth by the Lagos State Heart Management Agency (LASHMA) medical team.
Following his welcome speech, he and the council’s top officials took a tour of the various LASHMA team parts and took part in the medical examinations.
Among the medical tests performed are those for malaria, screening for HIV, high blood pressure, tuberculosis, and sugar levels.
