In a bid to promote preventive healthcare and raise awareness about the importance of maintaining good health, Ultimate Health HMO, in partnership with the Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC), has offered free health screenings and counseling services to passengers traveling aboard trains and at various major Nigeria train stations.
This to mark the World Health Day, commemorated April 7, 2025, the initiative, according to a statement by Ultimate HMO, took place on the Abuja-Kaduna, Lagos-Ibadan, and Warri-Itakpe train routes, bringing vital healthcare services directly to thousands of commuters.
The healthcare team offered passengers on-the-go health assessments, which included screenings for blood pressure, body mass index (BMI), blood sugar levels and other vitals.
In addition, personalised health counseling was provided to help passengers understand their health status and receive actionable advice to maintain or improve their overall well-being. The passengers were also educated on the importance of making informed lifestyle choices, with an emphasis on eating healthy, staying physically active, and managing stress.
“We believe that health is a right, not a privilege,” Otunba Ewenla, MD/CEO of Ultimate Health HMO stated. “Through our collaboration with the Nigerian Railway Corporation, we were able to reach a large number of individuals, especially those who may not have regular access to healthcare services.”
“This initiative is an integral part of our commitment to making preventive healthcare more accessible, while also raising awareness about the importance of maintaining good health, not just on World Health Day, but every day,” he added.
Ultimate Health HMO is a Health Management Organization in Nigeria, dedicated to delivering innovative solutions that address the diverse healthcare needs of individuals and families.
