BATMEDICS, a medical intervention initiative founded by Barrister Seyi Tinubu, has unveiled plans to provide free healthcare services to three million indigent Nigerians through nationwide medical outreaches.
The initiative will also establish specialist surgical camps in eight tertiary hospitals across the country, targeting a separate 6,000 beneficiaries who require procedures for complex medical conditions.
According to a statement signed by the Director of Research, Media and Communication, Petra Akinti Onyegbule, the nationwide outreaches will offer free medical services, including surgical interventions, to people in need.
The eight hospitals selected to host the specialist surgical camps are the National Hospital, Abuja; University of Nigeria Teaching Hospital, Enugu; Lagos University Teaching Hospital; Aminu Kano Teaching Hospital, Kano; Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University Teaching Hospital, Bauchi; University of Maiduguri Teaching Hospital; Federal Medical Centre, Asaba; and University of Benin Teaching Hospital, Benin City.
The specialist procedures will include complex operations such as open-heart and renal surgeries, alongside other critical interventions to be carried out by medical specialists at the designated facilities.
The programme is aimed at expanding access to healthcare, reducing the financial burden of medical treatment on vulnerable households and helping more Nigerians obtain essential and life-saving medical services.
BATMEDICS said the initiative reflected Tinubu’s commitment to supporting efforts to improve healthcare access, particularly for Nigerians who face financial difficulties in accessing treatment.
It added that collaboration with established tertiary hospitals and their medical teams would help extend medical and surgical services to vulnerable populations across the country.
Further details on the implementation schedule, available services, eligibility requirements and access arrangements will be communicated through BATMEDICS’ official platforms as preparations progress.
The organisation urged Nigerians to follow its verified communication channels for updates on the programme.
