US-based medics offer free treatment for Ibadan flood victims

Three United States- based Nigerian medical doctors stormed Ibadan, the Oyo State capital on Thursday to offer free treatment to victims of the August 26 flood in the ancient city.
The medics, who visited under the aegis of the Maternal Cord Association, said 500 people would benefit from the treatment while drugs worth N2 million would be donated to the victims.
The treatment is, however, for the aged, children and other less privileged Nigerians.
Having been trained free in Nigeria, the leader of the team, Dr. Tolu Aduroja, said members of the group believe that the time is appropriate for them to identify with their people and help them in tackling the health problems that might have arisen from the flood.
According to Aduroja, other members of the team are- Dr. Ayo Obush of the U.S of Air force and Dr. Louis Ujibo, an Orthopedic Surgeon in Atlanta Georgia.
The project is in partnership with Jesus House, Bahama, Albama and Naomi Medical Centre, Nigeria.
Aduroja declared that they were all trained at the University College Hospital (UCH), Ibadan some years ago.
“I attended free education .I was trained at UCH here in Ibadan some years back and everything was free. So why shouldn't I give out to the less privileged what God and the society had given on to me?,” he asked.
