How one woman’s death sparked a mission to save lives in Abuja suburbs
For many residents of the Dape 1 community in Abuja, a visit to the doctor is a luxury they can’t afford. It’s a choice between putting food on the table and paying for a check-up, especially when there are no obvious signs of illness.
This is the harsh reality that the Funmilayo Florence Babalola (FFB) Foundation is fighting to change, driven by a deeply personal tragedy.
On a recent Saturday, August 9, the local primary school was transformed into a bustling health clinic. The FFB Foundation, in collaboration with a team of dedicated volunteers and healthcare workers, offered free screenings and health education focused on non-communicable diseases like hypertension and diabetes.
According to Mary Nkem Babalola, the foundation’s Chief Operating Officer, the mission is to detect these "silent killer diseases" early.
