The Nigeria-Britain Association (N-BA), in collaboration with the LiveWell Initiative (LWI), successfully organized the 2026 Health Fair on Saturday, March 28, 2026, at the British Council in Ikoyi, Lagos. The event underscored their shared dedication to advancing preventive healthcare, wellness, and community health awareness.
Under the theme “Attaining Boisterous Health and Wellbeing amidst a Fast World,” the health fair was brought to life by the LiveWell Initiative LWI, featuring a team of dedicated healthcare professionals, wellness advocates, and participants from diverse health backgrounds.

The programme commenced with an insightful health talk delivered by Dr. Bisi Bright, CEO of LiveWell Initiative LWI, and Council member of N-BA. She highlighted the importance of adopting proactive health behaviors in response to the increasing pressures of modern living.
Dr. Bright emphasized that “individuals must take responsibility for their wellbeing by making informed choices, embracing early diagnosis, practicing basic hygiene, managing emotions, and staying consistently hydrated.”
Her session covered vital topics such as lifestyle management, stress, nutrition, resilience, and the prevention of non-communicable diseases, advocating for a more holistic approach to healthcare.
Speaking at the event, Sola Oyetayo, President of the Nigeria-Britain Association, described the health fair as part of the NBA’s broader sustainability efforts aimed at promoting healthier communities and improving quality of life for N-BA members and Nigerians. He emphasized that “Health is Wealth.”
Similarly, Funmilola Orokale, Council Member of the N-BA, stated, “the initiative reflects our commitment to ensuring greater health awareness, early detection of underlying conditions through accessible and respectful screening processes.”
With a team of over 50 healthcare professionals from the LiveWell Initiative LWI, the health fair offered attendees comprehensive and accessible medical services in a well-organized environment.
Participants enjoyed a wide range of free health screenings and consultations, including cardiovascular and metabolic checks such as blood pressure and blood sugar testing, as well as infectious disease screenings for hepatitis, HIV, and malaria.
