Power Oil health program covers over 11,000 mothers across 9 cities

In the face of the pandemic, Power Oil Health Camp team are visiting Primary healthcare centers to provide free basic medical health check for expecting and nursing mothers during antenatal and immunization days when footfalls are at its peak.

Power Oil Health Camp initiative from the staple of Raffles Oil LFTZ Enterprise- makers of the Nigerian no.1 Heart friendly vegetable oil brand, Power oil kicked off in 2013 with strong footprint in different locations pan Nigeria. It has been a project primarily aimed at bringing free basic health check-up closer to the public with the assistance of certified doctors, while sensitizing the public about ways to keep their heart functioning perfectly and how to maintain a moderate cholesterol body system.

Commenting on the project and the rationale behind targeting Primary Healthcare Centres as one of the touch points, Ms. Prerna Pathre, Brand Manager, Power Oil stated that women are the custodians of the family and their role both at the home-front and society at large cannot be over-emphasised. More so, it's only a healthy woman that can raise a happy family, which is why we decided to take the Health camp program directly to mothers in 9 locations across the country.
