The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church Of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye has donated N10m dialysis machine to The University College Hospital, Ibadan for kidney patients.
This was made known after the University College Hospital, Ibadan marked its 62nd founder’s day on Monday.
Pastor Adeboye who was accompanied by the top management of UCH said the donation was very important as kidney is a very important organ in the human body.
Adeboye 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.
“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”.
“If human being can’t help us, then we can go to the all-sufficient God and we keep crying to him”.
The Chief Medical Director of UCH, Prof. Abiodun Otegbayo, however, he urged Nigerians to donate generously for the development of the hospital.
Otegbayo said: “UCH is overwhelmed and overstretched because of the influx of patients with primary and secondary healthcare challenges which he said had been derailing UCH from its original focus which is tertiary healthcare.”
