The Rose of Sharon Foundation (ROSF), in partnership with CHECK Medicals, a healthcare organisation, recently organised free bi-annual medical outreach for widows, children, and orphans.
The programme was designed to provide sustainable physical, mental, and emotional health care for the overall wellbeing of over 300 beneficiaries. The services offered during the programme included general consultation/treatment, eye care with the provision of eyeglasses, dental care, laboratory tests (blood and urine), physiotherapy services, medications dispensary, screening for surgeries, cancer screening, and trauma management.
The Founder of the Rose of Sharon Foundation, Apostle Folorunso Alakija, said: “Access to quality healthcare should be a basic human right. And, in keeping with God’s divine mandate to cater for widows, the foundation has remained committed to making a difference in their lives, children, and the orphans, by providing them with essential health care services.”
The Country Manager for the Foundation, Dr. Ndudi Bowei, said: “Like most of our initiatives, we recognise that a programme is vital for curbing the health challenges and trauma experienced by widows, their children, and orphans as a result of the cultural mistreatment they face. The Foundation is offering a comprehensive health care service within the first quarter of the year to ensure that the beneficiaries receive the care and support they need for a healthy and fulfilling life.
“As usual, we encourage well-meaning Nigerians to continue to partner with us to provide other services, as we work together to create a brighter future for widows, their children, and orphans.”
