This gesture underscores the unwavering commitment of OPU to the community’s well-being.
The highly dedicated staff at the General Hospital Oye-Ekiti is fully prepared to participate and contribute to the program’s success, underscoring their dedication to the community’s welfare.
A team of highly qualified and dedicated doctors and healthcare professionals, both local and non-local, has rallied around this cause to offer their invaluable services during the outreach. High Chief Dr. Jimi Oke takes on the role of overall supervisor, while Professor Leo Adegun serves as the coordinator. Notable specialists, including dental experts, epidemiologists, and community medicine practitioners, form part of this remarkable team. The inclusion of an epidemiologist and a medical record officer adds specialized expertise to the event, further enriching the range of services provided.
A dedicated team of nurses will be on-site to provide vital support, while the outreach will be bolstered by the presence of pharmacists and laboratory scientists, committed to ensuring the seamless delivery of healthcare services.
Furthermore, the generous contribution of a significant drug supply and exercise books by respected Oye native, Pharmacist Popoola, attests to the community’s unwavering dedication to the outreach’s success.
To ensure participants’ comfort and nourishment, a local food vendor has been enlisted to provide morning snacks and afternoon rice. Canopies, tables, and chairs have been reserved to create a welcoming environment for both healthcare professionals and patients.
