In an effort to expand public healthcare services, Bayelsa State Governor Douye Diri has instructed the state Ministry of Health to begin conducting free quarterly medical check-ups for residents throughout the state.
Statewide Medical Directive
According to initial reporting by Punch Newspapers, the governor issued the directive directly to the health ministry to ensure routine healthcare screenings are made available to members of the public at no cost on a quarterly basis.
As this report originates from a single source, further operational details—including the specific rollout timetable, designated testing facilities, and comprehensive scope of tests to be provided under the directive—remain pending official clarification from state health authorities.
