Pastor Adeboye, who was
accompanied by the top management of UCH led by the Chief Medical Director of
the hospital, Prof. Abiodun Otegbayo said the donation was necessary for view
of the vital role that kidney plays in the life of to human being.
The University College
Hospital, Ibadan marked its 62nd founder’s day on Tuesday, the General Overseer
of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye donated a
dialysis machine worth N10m to help patients with kidney problems across the
country.
Unlike what operates
nowadays, the prominent cleric said going overseas for treatment was not common
during his childhood days.
He said, “people didn’t
think of going abroad for their treatment when we were young, they believed
once you come to UCH, they would be healed.” Talking to kidney patients and the
teaching hospital, Pastor Adeboye said, “I rejoice with you that we have
already had one on ground and we will have another two by the end of this year.
I promised to do more
because kidney is vital to human existence looking at the challenges people
living with kidney problems are facing”. Making allusion to the Holy Bible
where a woman with the issue of blood ran to Jesus Christ for healing, he
enjoined those with problems to Jesus. “If human being can’t help us, then we
can go to the all-sufficient God and we keep crying to him”. The Chief Medical
Director of UCH, Prof. Abiodun Otegbayo made a clarion call to well-meaning
Nigerians to donate generously for the development of the hospital.
Otegbayo who took over from
Prof Temitope Alonge stressed that funds remained the greatest challenge
confronting the hospital.
Other challenges militating
against the hospital, he noted, include payment of huge amount of money for the
supply of electricity, buying diesel for generators, lack of adequate
equipment, problem of water supply, training of staff and absence of good
infrastructure among others.
