Iwo Muslim Association, Treichville, Cote D’ivoire branch has built a private ward for the general hospital in Iwo, to enhance its health facilities.
This was disclosed at the handing over programme spearheaded by the President of the association, Alhaji Abdulganiy Akanmu, in the hospital’s premises yesterday.
Alhaji Akanmu, said the facility was donated as part of the plans of the association to compliment the free health programme of Governor Rauf Aregbesola.
According to him, we built this Ward for our people in Iwo, despite the fact that we live in Cote D’ivoire. It is our belief that this small gesture will no doubt increase the facilities at the State General Hospital, Iwo, where majority of our people patronized to treat themselves.
He said, “It is part of small contributions that individuals can make to the society. Our society is going to be better off we are all see governance as a collective responsibility.
“Health is a sector that everybody must be conscious and interested in and Government cannot be left alone to handle healthcare; we should be all concerned on the crucial sector.
” It is a collective responsibility to ensure that our society has standard healthcare delivery system.
“Individuals should contribute to the development of our community. No amount of contribution to the health sector is small of big because we are all going to enjoy better and advanced health facilities that we facilitated, or be a victim of poor health management.”
He added that, “standard healthcare delivery system could not be left to the government alone, hence the need for individuals to ensure active participation in the series of health programmes.”
Speaking at the event, the Chairman of the occasion, Otunba Bayo Aremu, said it is the duty of everybody to ensure a healthy living and peaceful society where life is more abundant for all.
