Zac Okunoren Healthcare Foundation is celebrating 10 years of service to humanity!!
The celebration took off with a visit to Awoyaya primary health center in Ibeju- Lekki, Lagos, our focus of activities for the first nine years.
Sabo-Agura, PHC, Sagamu
The Foundation has been providing voluntary service at Sabo Agura primary health centre in Sagamu local government of Ogun state since May, 2018.
To mark the anniversary, the health centre has been given a ‘face lift’ with paint work.
Before
After
A Foundation’s trustee has worked with the nursing staff for one year and noted areas where clinical update is required.
To make the only delivery room less multipurpose, an area of the centre has been carved out to serve as examination cubicle for both antenatal and family planning clinics.
The Foundation installed aluminum framed shutters to make the area weather proof, provided two examination couches and stainless steel framed screen for additional privacy
It was also noted that personal effects of the healthcare staff are left unsecure in the staff room.
To avert unnecessary distraction whilst on duty, The Foundation supplied a hand crafted 15 unit lockable cupboard for the staff room.
Dedication and hand-over ceremony
The newly created examination cubicle and other donated items were handed over at a short dedication ceremony.
The short ceremony was attended by staff, students, supporters and trustees of The Foundation.
The Very Reverend Babatunde Okunoren was present to say the opening prayer and short opening remarks. He called upon Nigerians to be more selfless thereby improving lives of other people.
The senior nursing officer (Apex) acknowledged the presence of The Foundation at the centre and expressed her gratitude to The Foundation on behalf of the local government.
The Foundation invited the youngest sibling of our eponym, Mrs Olowu (alias mummy London) to dedicate and cut the tapes with rousing support from others.
In her short speech rendered by The Foundation and the honor bestowed on her late brother, Zaccheaus Olufolahan Okunoren.
To further mark the day, two pawpaw trees were planted each by health centre staff and a trustee.
The closing prayer was said by the health centre pharmacist followed by refreshment.
