A wave of relief and joy swept through the Federal Medical Centre (FMC), Abeokuta, as an ally of Mr. Dayo Israel, the newly appointed Chairman of the hospital, donated ₦8 million to fund the open-heart surgery of an eight-year-old girl in dire need of medical intervention.
The generous donation was made by Mr. Ola Ayilara, the Chief Executive Officer of LANDWEY Investment, during a courtesy visit to the hospital.
In addition to covering the child’s surgery costs, Ayilara pledged to construct and maintain a new laboratory facility for the medical center, further demonstrating his commitment to improving healthcare infrastructure.
Commending the act of philanthropy, Mr. Dayo Israel described the donation as a remarkable gesture of giving back to society.
He reiterated the new hospital board’s dedication to revitalizing FMC Abeokuta, ensuring improved healthcare services and better medical outcomes for patients.
The timely intervention not only secures a second chance at life for the young girl but also underscores the impact of corporate social responsibility in strengthening Nigeria’s healthcare system.
