OAF donates to University College Hospital, Ibadan on HWN HUMANITY

Olajumoke Akinjide Foundation (OAF) has donated equipment worth millions of naira to boost healthcare delivery services at the University College Hospital (UCH), Ibadan.

They included wheel chairs, electric beds, walking aids, paediatric examination tables, dental examination chairs, operating tables, trolleys, blood donor chairs, resuscitation beds, consumables, thermometers, among others.

The Chief Medical Director, Prof. Temitope Alonge, receiving the equipment from the chairperson of OAF, Mrs. Modupe Akindeko, said: “This is the second batch of donation from OAF”, adding that it would address shortage of medical equipment.

She said: “The four months strike by the doctors has paralysed our financial activities. We can’t even buy the needed equipment. But with this gesture, healthcare delivery will be provided. For instance, we were just thinking of raising money to buy the operating table, which costs N5million, but OAF has donated four to us.

The foundation is meeting the needs of this hospital. Many politicians donate to where they can benefit, but this foundation and its founder, Oloye Jumoke Akinjide, are committed to humanity.”

Mrs. Akindeko said OAF, which was established in August 2005, would give back to the society and meet its needs.

She said the foundation had impacted on lives through health, agriculture, capacity building, provision of potable water, and relief material to flood victims and building of classrooms.

Mrs. Akindeko said they were assisting the government in health and education, adding that such gestures would make the country a better place to live in.
