Eruwen Community in Ikorodu area of Lagos state and Ado-Odo Community in Ota Area of Ogun State are two of the benefactors of the huge Medical Cabin Project, executed by Rotary International, District 9110, in collaboration with District 2430 (Turkey), District 6910 (U.S.A), and District 4420 (Brazil)

 

Eight fully equipped medical cabins which contains two rooms each with toilet and kitchen, were shipped into Nigeria and donated to eight different communities across Lagos and Ogun States.

The project which took 3 Rotary years to materialize, started in the 2017-2018 Rotary year by the then District Governor, Dr. Wale Ogunbadejo.

An intensive 2-Day training was carried out by the Medical Cabin Committee on Monday, October 21 and Tuesday, October 22, 2019 for the medical officers assigned to the eight medical cabins across Lagos and Ogun states.

A 5-man team of Medical Doctors and Rotarians who are also partners in the medical cabin Project from District 2430 (Turkey) visited Nigeria to train the medical officers and also witness the commissioning of some of the cabins.

The cabins which were positioned in Eruwen, Ikorodu and in Ado-Odo Primary Health Centre, Ota were both commissioned by the current District Governor, Dr. Jide Akeredolu on Wednesday, October 23, and Thursday, October 24, 2019 respectively.

Members of the community, both old and young trooped out in their numbers to celebrate the new mini hospital donated to them by the club.

Also present at the commissioning were the 5-man team of Medical Doctors and Rotarians who are also partners in the medical cabin Project from District 2430 (Turkey), Rotarians from District 9110, top government officials, medical officers with the health centre, and the community leaders.
