He said though the team earlier intended to spend only two days in Lokoja for the free medical outreach, it has become necessary to extend the duration of the service given the turnout of a large number of patients.
Dr.Nabargu said the team comprises Specialists in psychiatric, epilepsy, skin diseases, pediatric, and related ailments. Others include eye, ulcer, and pile among others.
He disclosed that while Herbal medicine can cure all known ailments and diseases, orthodox medical practitioners can not, pointing out that herbalists believe that before the outbreak of any disease, epidemic, or pandemic, God already has arranged a cure.
