Speaking to the relevance of preventive healthcare in Nigeria, which is constantly being undermined, with the obvious absence of sensitization programmes to inform and educate the public, Mr Tunde Jegede, co-founder, Axocheck revealed that one thing Axocheck is most passionate about is the prevention of fatal diseases, and the family health day presented the opportunity for Axocheck to play its part. He added that it is the first of many such outreaches to come.

According to consultant cardiologist and co-founder, Naveen Healthcare, Dr Monisola Adanijo, "We hosted the Family Health Day to sensitize families as well as individuals about the dangers of not knowing one's health indices (blood pressure, sugar levels, and BMI) and to help them understand how to respond to emergencies when they occur.
"As co-partners on the journey towards better healthcare, we decided to come together to contribute our quota."
