The Galaxy Clique, Offa, has donated a Behavioural Center to the Offa General Hospital in Kwara State to address critical health challenges, especially kidney disease, and enhance healthcare access in the community. The donation was part of the Club’s 5th Annual Colloquium, which focused on the growing burden of kidney disease in Nigeria.
Club Chairman Lukman Popoola emphasized the need for urgent action on kidney disease, calling it a significant public health issue affecting many families in the community. He also highlighted the rising concerns about drug abuse among youth, linking it to increasing societal insecurity.
At the event, Professor Timothy Olanrewaju, a consultant nephrologist at the University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital, spoke on the prevalence of chronic kidney disease in Nigeria, stressing the importance of early detection and affordable treatment.
Kwara State Governor AbdulRaman AbdulRazaq, represented by the Commissioner for Health, Dr. Amina El-Imam, commended the Galaxy Clique for its efforts in improving community healthcare. The governor also announced plans to support the Offa General Hospital with solar power installations and renovations to improve healthcare delivery in the state.
