Orunsii Welcare Foundation: A Beacon of Hope for Paediatric Surgery in Lagos
In a heartwarming display of generosity and commitment to children’s health, the Orunsii Welcare Foundation, alongside the Office of the First Lady of Lagos State, Dr. Ibijoke Sanwo-Olu, has taken a significant step toward improving the surgical care available to vulnerable children. Yesterday, this dynamic collaboration resulted in donations of vital funds to three prominent general hospitals in Lagos: the General Hospital Odan, Randle General Hospital in Surulere, and Alimosho General Hospital in Igando.
Dr. Olumide Sojinrin, the Project Coordinator of Orunsii and Medical Director of Randle General Hospital, highlighted the foundation’s mission to support families struggling to afford necessary paediatric surgeries. “We aim to address the health needs of vulnerable children whose parents face financial difficulties in accessing surgical care,” he stated. This thoughtful initiative not only addresses immediate health concerns but also alleviates the emotional burden on families during challenging times.
What sets this initiative apart is its sustainable approach. Sojinrin emphasized that this donation is just the beginning; the foundation plans to continue its support to ensure that children in need receive the medical assistance they require. It reflects their dedication to community engagement and the continuous upliftment of society’s most vulnerable members. “Since our inception in 2021, we have focused on various areas, including mental health, care for the elderly, and environmental health,” Sojinrin said.
Dr. Ibijoke Sanwo-Olu also praised the foundation’s efforts, noting the importance of supporting those who need it the most. Her ongoing advocacy for children’s welfare echoes through each initiative launched under her office, reinforcing the vital role of community partnerships in improving health outcomes.
This collaboration sheds light on the urgency of paediatric surgical needs in Nigeria and reinforces the importance of collective action in addressing these challenges. The Orunsii Welcare Foundation’s contributions are a testament to the positive impact that focused philanthropy can have on children’s health, offering hope and healing to many families in Lagos.
As we commend such initiatives, it is crucial for more organizations and individuals to rally around similar causes, ensuring that no child is denied the medical care they desperately need due to financial constraints.
