Club donates incubator to hospital

The Rotary Club of Lagos has donated an infant incubator to the General Hospital Badagry in Lagos.

The club explained that the gesture was in line with one of its seven areas of focus – maternity and child health care.

During the presentation of the incubator, the President, Rotary Club of Lagos, Joseph Akhigbe, said, “We have been doing lots of donations within the metropolis but at this point, we said to ourselves that it’s important we come towards this direction.

“We did a lot of projects in February, which we spread around, but we couldn’t come here at that time. But today, we are here with an incubator. It’s important you understand that Rotary is a continuum and the president that is coming after me is here, you can always reach out to him and tell him about your needs.

“When you see the seven areas of focus of Rotary Club of Lagos, maternity and child health care is well-captured and that’s why we are here now.

“We also built 10 boreholes in Ifo, Ogun State, earlier in the year to support the communities there with clean water, we are also building a school in Ilara community in Epe.”

The president also pointed out, “We actually partner with some corporate bodies to make our society a better place and that’s why we’re here today to donate an infant baby incubator to support maternity and child healthcare.”

Expressing gratitude for the incubator, the Chief Medical Director of the hospital, Dr Olatunde Bakare, added that, “We want to also appeal to Rotary Club of Lagos for a partnership so that they can build us an orthopaedic or burnt centre.”
