Claim

The Anambra State Government provided free hydrocelectomy surgeries for 165 patients.

Verdict

Unverified (Insufficient independent evidence available)

Evidence

The claim originates from a report by the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), a government-affiliated news outlet. While NAN is a credible source for official government announcements, we couldn’t find independent verification from:

• Hospital records or patient testimonials
• Statements from medical associations
• Reports from independent media outlets

The article provides no specific details about:

• Which hospitals performed the surgeries
• The timeframe of the medical intervention
• Selection criteria for beneficiaries

Source

Original report: News Agency of Nigeria

Conclusion

While the News Agency of Nigeria reported this health initiative by the Anambra State Government, the claim remains unverified due to lack of corroborating evidence from independent sources. The available information doesn’t contain sufficient details to fully authenticate the scale and implementation of the reported medical outreach.

Recommendation: Additional verification from hospital records or patient testimonials would strengthen the credibility of this claim.
