A charity organisation, Arise Foundation, which has been in the forefront of bringing primary healthcare to the most needy as well as supporting governments efforts in healthcare delivery, has joined other concerned organisations to join forces with the Lagos State government to contain the pandemic since its penetration into Nigeria few weeks back.
The brains behind the initiative, Dr Siju Iluyomade through her response team, extended a hand of fellowship to the medical experts in Lagos as part of efforts to support the on-going battle by the state government to contain the fast spreading pandemic.
The humanitarian organisation donated relief materials including 4,000 sanitisers; 20,000 hand gloves and 4,000 face masks to equip the medical team with necessary protective gears needed to contain the COVID-19 pandemic, at Mainland Hospital, formerly, Infectious Disease Hospital, Yaba, Lagos State.
Iluyomade said: “Arise takes health very seriously because you need to be in sound health to do anything tangible. Apart from the donation of personal protective materials, Arise has free medicals outreach at the Healing Stripes Hospital for Women every second and last Wednesday of every month.
“Also, under our adopt-a-village Scheme, we have adopted many villages In Abuja. We built a full-fledged functional borehole in three of the villages for the schools and separate ones for the communities and their leaders, we built full resource & literacy centers, complete renovations of schools, supplies of stationaries, books and brand-new classroom furniture.”
