Nigerian Navy Medical Outreach to Rumuolumeni Community
The strategic offensive role of a navy is projection of force into areas beyond a country’s shores (for example to protect sea lanes, deter or confront piracy, ferry troops, etc.). The strategic defensive purpose of a navy is to frustrate seaborne projection of force by adversaries – All these in a bid to defend a nation’s territorial integrity.
The people of Rumuolumeni community in Rivers State were therefore pleasantly surprised when the Nigerian Navy Command in Rivers State, NNS Pathfinder at the directive of the Chief of Naval Staff took time out of their statutory responsibilities to organize a free medical rhapsody on Tuesday 16th April 2024.
Speaking at the medical outreach exercise, Rear Admiral Fredrick Damtong said the outreach exercise was one of the Navy’s strategic efforts aimed at synergizing and connecting with host communities.
Commander NNS Pathfinder, Commodore Desmond Igbo said as much as 2000 people were being expected to turn out and access the medical services being offered, some of which were General health Examination, Dental and Eye Tests, and immunization.
