The Julius Agenmonmen Foundation launched its first medical outreach in Edo and Delta, offering essential healthcare services to over 2,000 residents.

The Julius Agenmonmen Foundation (JAF) has successfully launched its first community medical outreach, providing critical healthcare services to over 2,000 residents in Ubulu-Uku, Delta State, and Uromi, Edo State.

The outreach, conducted from 13–17 September in partnership with Zuri Health, included comprehensive services such as dental and eye care, laboratory testing, general consultations, and pharmacy support.

In an interview, co-founder Dr Uche Agenmonmen highlighted the importance of this outreach in addressing healthcare needs for those who often lack access to essential medical services.

“We are reaching those in our society who don’t have access to quality healthcare. Focusing on eye care, we aim to help people enjoy good vision throughout their lives, preventing blindness in these communities,” she said.

JAF, a non-profit established by Julius Agenmonmen and Dr Uche Agenmonmen, is committed to improving healthcare accessibility across underserved areas of Nigeria.

The foundation’s mission took root after Julius Agenmonmen pledged during his 60th birthday to give back by improving healthcare services in local communities.

In April 2023, this pledge led to the donation of advanced eye diagnostic equipment to St. Camillus Hospital in Uromi, where Julius was born, symbolising his journey of giving back.

By December 2023, the foundation’s contributions had benefited over 1,000 patients, significantly impacting eye care access for the Esan community and surrounding regions.

Reflecting on the outreach, Julius Agenmonmen expressed his deep gratitude and desire to support those less fortunate. “Last year, my wife and I founded the Julius Agenmonmen Foundation to give back to society.

Having faced health challenges myself, I was blessed to have resources for treatment. We wanted to thank God for our blessings, and we knew that helping the underserved was the best way to do so,” he shared.

The foundation plans to expand its reach, ensuring accessible and high-quality healthcare for more people in need across Nigeria.

Through JAF’s ongoing initiatives, the foundation aims to bridge the healthcare gap in underserved communities, providing residents with vital resources to enhance their well-being.
