Former Deputy Governor of Osun State, Senator Iyiola Omisore, brought joy to hundreds of in-patients at the Obafemi Awolowo University Teaching Hospital (OAUTH), Ife, and children and care givers at the Covenant Orphanage & Welfare Centre in Moro village, Osun State, on New Years’ day.

The Chief Medical Director, Obafemi Awolowo University Teaching Hospital (OAUTH), Ife, Professor Victor Adetiloye who receiving him alongside other members of the hospital’s management expressed appreciation for spending his first day every year with patients of OAUTH, Ife and at orphanages.

Adetiloye enumerated projects that Omisore has been doing to advance the hospital to include, water projects, road construction, and building of new wards for the hospital.

“Today as usual, Senator Omisore has brought joy to many of our patients. As we stand here today, all the structures standing at the Phase 4 of our expansion programme were facilitated by him. Through his support and other corporate organisations, we have developed the hospital to an international standard.

“Though it is a Federal Government institution, government cannot do it alone. It is from the little we charge that we cover our administrative expenses. If not for such support we receive from people like Senator Omisore, we might not have been able to develop our services to this enviable level. Here we have been able to perform open heart surgery on 14 patients. We are known worldwide for renal transplantation; our doctors are renowned all over the world.

“For coming every year to bring relief to our poor patients, you have heeded a call from God to help the needy. We want to appeal to other leaders in our society to emulate such gesture of Senator Omisore at giving back and creating values to their communities.”

Omisore prayed for and handed gifts to patients in all the wards he visited, as well as paid medical bills of indigent patients.

The visit, which was rounded off at the Covenant Orphanage & Welfare Centre, also received appreciation by its inmates where he presented them food items to them.
