CDOWA Conducts Free Medical Screening For Members, Personnel

The FCT Command of the Civil Defence Officers’ Wives Association (CDOWA) has conducted free medical screening for its members and personnel .

The Association which held its 2024 first quarterly retreat with the theme “Promoting healthy lifestyle for peaceful home front” conducted various medical screenings such as blood pressure test, eye test, sugar level test amongst others.

CDOWA Chairperson, Mrs Olayinka Odumosu said the medical screening was to ensure officers and men including their wives were in good health condition.

Mrs Odumosu said that the importance of maintaining a healthy lifestyle cannot be overemphasized as this would help promote effective service delivery.

“Let us give more attention to our mental well-being, recognise health as a universal right, not a privilege and collectively take care of ourselves”.

“As women we need to understand that health is a holistic concept which extends beyond the absence of illness to complete physical, mental and social well-being.

The Chairperson described maintaining a healthy lifestyle as a precious asset that shapes the quality of lives, allowing women to pursue dreams, contribute to Nation building and fulfill human potential.

She further charged CDOWA members and female officers of the Command to ensure a peaceful home that would ensure that male personnel thrive in fulfilling their basic responsibilities.

Mrs Odumosu, urged members to serve as intelligence informants to the Corps stressing that civil defenders live amongst civilians and that they should use the opportunity to get grassroots information that could be beneficial to security agencies.
