He proceeded, "Patients who have a sickness that the club can handle on the spot, we'll try our best to help them thoroughly after having their blood tested". "But in cases where the sickness is beyond our support, we'll give them proper channelled recommendations to help them get the adequate aid required". Dr Bayo elucidated that the advantage of the program is bringing the hospital directly to the community for those who are reluctant to go and seek help. "We're educating and giving them preventive measures, most especially the high risks individuals in the vicinity, which are the children below age 5 and also the pregnant women" Dr Bayo concluded.

In his short remarks, Baale Olayiwola called the project a welcome development, saying that due to economic challenges, most Nigerians are sick and are also afraid to go for checkups due to the unknown financial charges attached. "Checking your vital signs is very important in the Nigeria of today, that's why I must applaud the Rotary club of Ikorodu Metropolitan for picking my community to execute this project". "Due to our interest in this program, after they told us of their coming, we informed the CDA/CDC, Okada riders, market women and everyone who'll be available to benefit from it". "We've also prayed for the club that God will continue to grow them as they continue to aid the community's growth" Baale Olayiwola added. In all, over 200 residents benefited from the program, with the Club receiving prayers and words of encouragement to continue their good works around the communities in the waterbed region.
