A health official, Laad Medical centre, Mrs Mutiat Efuntade gave the charge at the free medical test organised by Premier FM, Iyaganku Ibadan to mark their 20th Anniversary of the station.

Speaking, the Acting Zonal Director, FRCN Ibadan, Mrs Bolanle Owoyemi who enjoined media professionals to give priority to their health, said irrespective of a tight schedule, there was a need to visit the hospitals at least once a month.

General Manager, Premier FM, Alhaji Bashir Omotoso said the free medical test was aimed at enabling people to know the state of their health.
