Greater Tomorrow Foundation Offers Free Healthcare

 

 

 

 

The Greater Tomorrow Foundation has entered into a strategic partnership deal with foremost surgeon, Doctor Seidu Bello, to offer free surgeries to less-privileged children in rural areas of Nigeria.

Disclosing this during the launch of the Greater Tomorrow Children Fund in Abuja, founder and former Africa Cup of Nations silver medal winner with Super Eagles, Paul Okoku, said that it was his belief that any attempt to give back to the society without providing healthcare was incomplete.

Okoku, a member of the Flying Eagles team to the first FIFA U-20 World Cup in Mexico in 1983 said that he was moved to enter into the partnership with Dr. Seidu because of the many cleft cases that pervade the length and breadth of the nation, adding that with the kind support of corporate and wealthy Nigerians  the scourge of the diseases would be drastically reduced if not totally eradicated from the society.

While commending Dr. Seidu for his sterling contributions in the area of healthcare delivery to indigent Nigerians, Okoku said that he was confident that a new dawn will soon be ushered into the lives of suffering patients, who he called to come out in their droves when the train of the foundation hits their towns and villages any moment from now.

Responding, Dr. Seidu said that he was moved by Okoku's passion to help the less-privileged ones in the society, noting that if everyone was thinking like this that the lives of patients suffering with deformities would have been reduced if not eradicated.

He encouraged Okoku to stay committed to the cause, stating that the task was tough but surmountable, adding that his involvement was going to spark others to join in the crusade to provide better healthcare services to indigent Nigerians.

“The lives of these people will have been different for very good reasons if people were thinking like Paul Okoku. I am glad that you have joined our health train and hope that this partnership will help the cause of humanity”, said Dr. Seidu.

Also speaking at the occasion, Super Eagles coach, Stephen Keshi commended Dr. Seidu, saying “God bless you for what you are doing and I am glad that you are partnering with us”.
