BlossomNigeria commends Nurses in diaspora that made a positive mark in Ilorin Kwara state, on July 19, when the Egbejila Primary Health Centre was commissioned by the Honourable Commissioner of Health in the State, Hajia Aminat El Imam, supported by the Permanent Secretary Hajia Afusat Adenike Ibrahim and the State Director of Nursing Services, Hajia Ahman Aminat.

The Centre which was renovated by the joint efforts of Nurses across the Borders International and Nigerians in Diaspora Organisation Europe (NIDOE), experienced a total conversion and transformation, as the event also witnessed the Free Medical Outreach provided by members of Nurses Across the Borders in Nigeria. Over 72 women were screened for High Blood Pressure and Diabetes, and given essential medications to take home free. The entire Mogajis of the 54 communities of the Budo Nuhu were also represented adequately.

Speaking at the event, the State Commissioner for Health in Kwara State, Hajia Aminat El Imam, commended Nurses Across the Borders International, headed by Pastor Peters Omoragbon and Nigerians in Diaspora Organisation Europe (NIDOE), led by Dr Bashir Obasekola, represented by the Continental Project Coordinator Councillor, Harold Ogunfemi. She recognised the noteworthy steps taken in renovating the dilapidated Egbejila Primary Health Centre.

She added that the issue of Health is so dear to the heart of the Governor of the state, Mallam Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq. In her words, “This Health Centre stands as a testament of the spirit of humanity, cooperation and partnership; the universal desire for growth and improvement which is in tandem with the ministry of Health and the entire Kwara State government, headed by the state governor”.

She noted that there has been a state wide drive to renovate facilities, primary and secondary, and one of such facilities have been converted into a flagship facility, that is now Kwara State University Teaching Hospital, (KWASUTH).
