The Resident Doctors have on annual basis, carried out programmes that directly impact on the lives of selected communities, especially the less privileged ones.
The 2021 exercise will afford the Orphanage Homes the opportunity to benefit from a medical mission that seeks to give them thorough free check ups and treatments, which invariably is aimed at reducing the cost of medical bills and encouraging medical charity within the less privileged communities.
