In this connection, the ongoing free medical check-up for civil and public servants in Oyo State is most commendable, especially considering the rampant cases of sudden deaths, most of which result from preventable and manageable ailments. This initiative by the present administration in Oyo State will ultimately help to check ailments such as hypertension, stroke and cardiac arrest among public and civil servants in the state. Medical check-ups also allow people to be informed of new medical innovations, technology, discovery of diseases, treatments, prevention, drugs and others. All civil and public servants in Oyo State are, therefore, enjoined to utilise the opportunity provided by the exercise to know their health status, and subsequently strive to practise healthy lifestyles. This is another landmark achievement of the Governor Abiola Ajimobi-led administration to make all civil and public servants in the state healthy.
