Enenche’s Medical Outreach Reaches 7,000 Residents in Benue

The Senior Pastor of Dunamis International Gospel Centre, Dr Paul Enenche, has urged individuals, faith-based organisations, and government bodies to step up humanitarian efforts.

In a statement released by the church administration on Sunday, Enenche made the appeal during a free medical outreach conducted from December 15 to 19.

The week-long initiative, held across four Idoma communities—Igumale, Iga Okpaya, Adoka, and Otukpo—provided healthcare services to over 7,000 residents in Benue State.

Speaking on the final day, Enenche described the outreach as a call for collective responsibility, highlighting the importance of sustained support for underserved communities, particularly during festive periods.

Quoting the late evangelist Dr Uma Ukpai, he said, “As you travel around the world, never forget your ancestral home. Coming to Idoma land every year is not ordinary but divine. This outreach is a reminder that compassion must translate into action, especially for those unable to afford basic healthcare.”

Enenche stressed that faith-based organisations and well-meaning Nigerians should continue complementing government initiatives to bridge healthcare gaps in rural areas.

The last day of the outreach, held at St Francis College, Otukpo, featured morning medical services and an evening crusade with worship, prayers, and testimonies. Food items and relief materials were also distributed to vulnerable residents.

Residents from the host communities turned out in large numbers to access free consultations, treatments, and diagnostic services. Ailments treated included malaria, hypertension, diabetes, skin diseases, ulcers, and urinary tract infections.

Laboratory services such as malaria parasite tests, Widal tests, and hepatitis B and C screenings were provided. Dental services included scaling, polishing, and extractions, while eye care services featured consultations and prescription of corrective glasses.

The programme concluded with a midnight prayer session, where Enenche prayed for peace, healing, and restoration in Idoma land, while calling for continued collaboration to expand access to healthcare and humanitarian support across Benue State.
