Medical practitioners in Lagos will have access to free rides through the Bolt Business Platform, the ride-hailing platform has disclosed.
This is part of corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives of Bolt to support organisations in advancing their goals and purpose, especially the Lagos State chapter of the Nigerian Medical Association (NMA).
“We are committed to the welfare of those that have kept us going during the height of the pandemic. This remains a priority for us and as such we are continually looking for ways to contribute to their wellbeing.
“The partnership with the Nigerian Medical Association is important to us as we understand the importance of access to resources and solutions to make certain things convenient for them.
“We will continue to fulfil our CSR initiatives to empower and enable our communities for cities built around people,” the Nigeria Public Policy Specialist at Bolt, Abisola Odukoya said.
Also commenting, the Chairman of Lagos NMA, Dr Tajudeen Salau, stated that “the Bolt CSR to NMA Lagos is a carefully selected type of CSR which affords the doctors some comfort to perform their duty and also makes it easier for patients to receive care easier than usual.”
The NMA is the professional association registered for medical practitioners in Nigeria covering the six major medical specialities. The association collaborates on specific projects on health issues with public and private organisations to achieve its agenda for better healthcare service delivery to Nigerians.
