Ogun to offer free pediatric surgery for 200 children
No fewer than 200 indigent children in Ogun State will undergo free medical surgery, the Chief Medical Director of the Olabisi Onabanjo Teaching Hospital, Sagamu, Dr. Oluwabunmi Fatungase, has disclosed.
Fatungase added that the five-day free paediatric surgery expedition is being undertaken by the state government in collaboration with Leicester Children’s Hospital.
According to her, the programme would also allow the state government to reduce medical tourism and give the less privileged the opportunity to be treated and operated upon without paying a dime.
Speaking at the kick off of the medical outreach programme held at the OOUTH, Sagamu, the CMD said children with medical cases such as Hernia and Hydrocele, Undescended Testes, Hypospadias, Hirshsprung disease, Anorectal malformations and Lumps and Swelling, will be given free surgery
The Commissioner for Health, Dr. Tomi Coker, noted that the exercise is an epoch making moment for the teaching hospital and the country as a whole, stressing that the target of the exercise is about two hundred and fifty indigent children.
Coker, while noting that the exercise was only made possible as a result of the leadership style of Governor Dapo Abiodun which has encouraged collaboration, inclusiveness and innovation, thanked the governor for his extensive investment in the hospital which she said has gingered philanthropists to collaborate with the state in upgrading infrastructure and investing in modern medical equipment.
Declaring the programme open, Governor Dapo Abiodun said his administration would continue to do all it can to improve the quality and service delivery of medical personnel in the state.
Abiodun added that his administration would further explore how to deepen the relationship and collaboration between the state government and the Leicester Children’s Hospital.
The governor pointed out that the medical outreach programme is a noble initiative that his administration would continue to support for the all-round benefit of the state.
“This marks a new relationship between Ogun State and the Leicester Children’s Hospital, and we are going to further explore how to deepen that relationship and collaboration.
“We will continue to do everything to improve the quality and service delivery of our medical personnel, we will also continue to deal with everything that we can to improve the lot and life of our people,” he said.
Abiodun said that his administration had in the last three years grown the number of ambulances from five to over fifty, adding that the ambulances are being supported by tricycle ambulances which have the capacity to access the primary health care centers where vehicle ambulances cannot reach.
The governor who further disclosed that his administration has provided the primary health care centers with technology so that gathering, storing and sharing of data between the primary, secondary and tertiary health care centers are made easy, said that the use of technology keys into his administration’s developmental pillars.

Ooni of Ife Lauds Health Technology Solutionās Initiative as he Visits Cavista in Lagos
His Imperial Majesty Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi, Ojaja II, recently visited the Lagos offices of Cavista Nigeria, and lauded its founder and chairman, Niyi John Olajide, for his strides in creating advanced technology as a tool for development and job creation.
During the visit, the Ooni further stated that the giant strides of Olajide, a proud descendant of Oduduwa from Erinmope-Ekiti, Ekiti State, should not go unnoticed.
āDespite the stereotype woven around Nigerian youths, Olajide has proven himself to be a worthy ambassador putting Nigeria on the world map as a problem-solver.,ā the Ooni said.
āThe purpose of my visit is to show my unflinching support for him and task the government to encourage technology businesses and entrepreneurs to achieve their dreams by creating an enabling environment.ā
The Ooni also said Olajide, the founder and president of leading global healthcare technology company Axxess, a global partner to Cavista, is setting an extraordinary example for other business leaders.
āAt a time when the best brains of our young people are relocating out of Nigeria due to a harsh economic climate, Olajide is in Nigeria utilizing his wealth of experience to create opportunities for job creation while ensuring consistent development of technology solutions in healthcare delivery across Africa,ā the Ooni emphasized.
āOlajide is doing a lot, not only for himself but for the Nigerian youths he has engaged,ā the Ooni continued. āNigeria requires more than 65% of its total young population to take the lead in instituting modern governance and leadership, as well as establishing the noblest economic outlooks capable of competing favorably with any nation in the world through their entrepreneurial spirit.ā
Since Olajide created Axxess in 2007 as an IT consulting firm, it has created and pioneered innovative healthcare solutions using cutting-edge technology to solve complex challenges in healthcare in North America and Africa. Today, Axxess is trusted by more than 9,000 organizations that serve more than 3 million patients worldwide.
āWith investments in Cavista Nigeria, where more than 250 software engineers are currently employed, we provide cloud-based solutions that can be used anytime, anywhere, so people can receive the absolute best healthcare efficiently and in the privacy and comfort of wherever they call home,ā Olajide said.
āOlajideās story of struggles and challenges resonate with me and strikes a chord with a lesson of always believing in your dreams,ā the Ooni said. āHis toughness and doggedness exemplify the widely-held belief of āno pain, no gain.ā Indeed, there is the promise of greater value and reward for the price of persistent and intentional work.ā
Appreciating the Ooni for his words of encouragement and playing his fatherly role during the visit, Olajide noted he kick-started his entrepreneurial sojourn from his days at the University of Texas at Dallas, where the vision for Axxess was conceived.
Axxess has a diverse pool of employees representing more than 45 countries worldwide.
āI believe that when we can harness the power of our diversity, we will replicate our success around the world in Nigeria at Cavista,ā Olajide said.
