The Redeemed Christian Church of God’s (RCCG’s) corporate social responsibility arm, His Love Foundation (HLF), has donated a dialysis centre, Enoch and Folu Adeboye Dialysis Centre, to the Olabisi Onabanjo University Teaching Hospital (OOUTH), Sagamu, Ogun State. The event, aimed at commemorating HLF’s third anniversary, coincided with the church’s 69th yearly convention, which ended last week.
In a goodwill message delivered by Pastor Aboaba Folagbade Olajide, on behalf of RCCG General Overseer, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, the cleric said the church would not relent in supporting Nigerians. He added that the new dialysis centre will complement the one at the RCCG Redemption Camp in Mowe.
The centre has three dialysis machines, one medical water reverse osmosis purification system, and a 30KVA generator. The donation will be the 16th of the church’s specialised medical interventions – intensive care units (ICUs)/dialysis centres/cancer screening centre/primary health centres – donated by HLF in the country in the last three years and the second to be inaugurated Ogun State this year.
The Assistant Continental Overseer/Intercontinental Overseer CSR, Pastor Idowu Iluyomade, making the donation, said: “A critical look at the needs for kidney dialysis in Nigeria gives the dire picture of the task at hand and based on needs assessment, we discovered that kidney diseases represent eight to 10 per cent of hospital admissions in Nigeria with only 175 functioning dialysis machines in the whole of the country to take care of the over 25 million patients.”
Governor Dapo Abiodun, represented by the Deputy Governor, Mrs. Noimot Salako, thanked RCCG for the gesture, noting that the church had been helpful to the state. The Ogun State Commissioner for Health, Dr Tomi Coker, also thanked RCCG for its donations and support to the state’s health infrastructure.
The Acting Chief Medical Director, OOUTH, Dr. Oluwabunmi M. Fatungase, also thanked the church’s CSR’s arm for coming to its aid at a time others they wrote to did not. She assured that the hospital management would maintain the facility.
The Akarigbo of Remoland, Oba Babatunde Adewale Ajayi, who spoke on behalf of his people, praised the foundation and Pastor Adeboye for the great work he had done.
