The University College Hospital, Ibadan, has received the donation of a dialysis machine worth N10m from the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye.
This was made known after the hospital marked its 62nd founder’s day on Monday.
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 in view of the vital role that kidney plays in the life of human being.
Adeboye said unlike what operates nowadays, 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.”
While speaking 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 seek refuge with Jesus. “If human beings can’t help us, then we can go to the all-sufficient God and we keep crying to Him”.
The CMD of the hospital, Prof. Abiodun Otegbayo, however, enjoined well-meaning Nigerians to donate generously for the development of the hospital.
