Nigeria movement provides free medical care to thousands in Benue State

The North Central Grassroots Mobilisation Movement for Tinubu/Shettima 2027 provided free medical care to 27,529 people across seven public health facilities in Benue State, Nigeria.

The movement organized the five-day outreach from October 27 to 31, 2026. The initiative aimed to fill healthcare gaps at the grassroots level while building support for President Bola Tinubu and the All Progressives Congress. Medical teams provided diagnostic screenings and treatments for conditions such as malaria, hypertension, and acute respiratory infections.

The team also performed 582 surgical procedures for conditions like hernia and cataracts. The outreach included services for maternal and paediatric care, and 1,847 people received dental care. The movement also donated maternal delivery packs, diagnostic supplies, and insecticide-treated nets to the participating hospitals. At the Ugbokpo General Hospital, a woman named Mrs Adeyi gave birth during the exercise and named her son Echono after the movement's national coordinator.

The Federal University of Health Sciences Teaching Hospital in Otukpo saw the highest turnout with 7,597 beneficiaries. Other major sites included Ugbokpo General Hospital and Vandeikya General Hospital. During the period, 74 patients were admitted for further clinical evaluation and treatment.
