Dufil Prima Foods Ltd, makers of Indomie Instant Noodles, has donated medical equipment and supplies to the Rauf Aregbesola Primary Health Centre, Alimosh
The donation comprises a range of essential medical equipment including mattresses, weight scales, incubators, endotracheal tubes, pillows, infant phototherapy unit and baby bed, among others.
Speaking at the donation event, the Group Corporate Communications and Events Manager, Dufil Prima Foods Ltd Temitope Ashiwaju said that Indomie came to the community to accomplish one of its corporate social responsibility initiatives by donating medical equipment to public health facilities across the country, pointing out that the donation was part of a nationwide initiative by the brand.
“We did a need assessment of the health centre to determine what the dire needs and this informed the materials that we have brought here today to donate. We are glad to have met with the management and staff of the health facility, and just like we have said in the past, we feel that corporate entities like us need to support the government, most especially in the areas where we know that only the government alone might not be able to do all those interventions.
This initiative is something that is ongoing. As a caring brand, we have done quite a number of these donations in Port Harcourt, Kaduna, Kano. It is a nationwide excercise.
Speaking also at the event, the Medical Officer of Health, Rauf Aregbesola Primary Heath Centre, Dr. Abiola Bolaji expressed deep appreciation for the donation, noting its potential to significantly improve the healthcare delivery of the centre. “I would like to say a big thank you to Dufil Prima Foods for the donation of the medical equipment. It is coming at the right time, and that’s because we have incorporated more integrated services through the Primary Health Care. We are hopeful that with this new equipment, more and more patients would be encouraged to come in, and that it would inspire the medical personnel to work better”, she said.
