In a world where healthcare is often a privilege rather than a right, RHIFIL is continually driven by her vision of improved rural health living through loving, caring and sharing. Our recent missionary health outreach stood as a beacon of hope and compassion. In partnership with a Church of God Mission International, we embarked on an extraordinary journey of service, bringing healing, relief, and love to a hundred grateful souls. The air was charged with anticipation, and the spirit of service was palpable as volunteers and professionals worked seamlessly to deliver quality healthcare—completely free of charge The day began with praise and worship songs with prayers followed by health talks from hygiene in all application as natural panacea to disease to educative talk on food, eye care etc. The seminar session was highly informative, and we are confident that it raised awareness about certain health habits.
The program attended to all present and fortunately the team was able to manage the supplies that all present were given some form of medication while others needing further care were referred to RHIFIL Hospital. A considerable number of common health challenges that have contributed to increased mortality rates and impoverished rural area were attended to.
Understanding that wellness extends beyond medical care, we provided nourishment to both volunteers and beneficiaries. All workers received food packs, while those who came seeking care were treated to light refreshments, fostering a sense of belonging and warmth.
- ACTIVITIES:
> Medical consultations
> Health screenings encompassing vital signs, blood pressure, glucose levels, and Body Mass Index (BMI) assessments
> Distribution of medications and medical supplies
> Health education sessions aimed at promoting wellness and disease prevention
> Eye screenings to identify and address ocular health concerns
> Free glasses. - A total of 8 individuals were mobilized from RHIFIL to support the outreach effort, forming a diverse team comprising medical and non-medical professionals and working with Glory Church team to make the outreach a success. This team was structured to efficiently deliver a range of essential services to the community. To ensure an organized and effective outreach, we meticulously designed a functional structure that enabled swift, professional, and compassionate care. The outreach was segmented into the following units:
Impact
With over a hundred individuals in attendance, the outreach was a resounding success. Each person walked away not only with medical assistance but with a renewed sense of hope and appreciation. The expressions of gratitude and the glaring heartfelt smiles reinforced our commitment to humanity. The seamless coordination of activities ensured that in just eight hours, every single attendee received the care they sought—no one was left unattended.
Recommendation:
The eye care unit advocated for some glasses to be purchased and the more drugs to handle cases of pathology. RHIFIL should follow-up sensitization in subsequent collaboration for greater awarenesscreation.

Their selfless contributions have left an indelible mark on the hearts of many, and we look forward to touching more lives together. This outreach was a ray of hope.
