A free Surgical Intervention Programme for indigent people, initiated by the Ogun State Governor, Dapo Abiodun, has begun with surgical operations performed on patients at the state hospitals in Abeokuta, Ijebu-Ode, and Ilaro.
The programme had begun with the registration and assessment of beneficiaries earlier on Monday.
It would involve major and minor surgical operations on 70,000 residents as part of the governor’s medical palliative to the people.
