Hospital celebrated all Mothers on the day Mother’s day was celebrated on 1st
of May,2015.
In his speech at
the event,Cheif Medical Director,Dr Isa Mohammed Tosin said that as far as the
issue of Children was concerned ,one of the major pitfalls with our system was
that we operate in ignorance as they
were not taken to the hospital anytime they fall sick.
He lamented the
fact that some careless parents actually wait till the children convulse before
they go to the hospital.
He painted a
gory picture of how poverty had ensured that parents get into trouble hence
find it difficult to do the needful appropriately.
In his own
contributions, Prince Sulaiman Olagunju, Chairman, Al Bank Micro Finance
Limited who was represented said that a baby must be celebrated at all times
every day of our lives.
He implored
every mummy to make sure that every advice given to them is followed to the latter during pregnancy.
Dr Mrs Blessing
Udemezue in her own submission affirmed that having a healthy child starts
immediately after conception.
She warned of
dire consequences if an aspiring mother refuses
to respect medical instructions given to her on such things like ante
natal drugs, exercise, dancing among other things that can enrich the heavy
mother.
She urged women
to learn to use things like olive oil to help smoothen the breasts and the
nipples as they prepare for their babies.
She explained
that breast feeding helps to build a very strong emotional bond between the
mothers and the newly born baby when they arrive.
The medical
Doctor pointed out that the immune system
of a newly born baby was usually very low hence anybody who wishes to
carry them aside from the biological mother should be neat hygienically.
She noted that
aside from maintaining a good positioning when breast feeding ,a mother should
also try to not to keep inter changing her breast for the baby during a single
feed as this was not healthy.
Dr Udemezue also told the gathering that breast
feeding was healthy in that it helps to keep the child away from unwanted
diseases
In a related
issue, Dr Isoken who was also at the event said that the blood pressure of both
mother and the child should also be adequately monitored as this can result
into death if not done.
Baby Abdulqadir
Ismail who was the first child to be delivered at the hospital at inception was
later presented with a bicycle as a gift in the presence of his very
proud mother.
Dr Mrs
Okunmuyide,the Hospital’s Director of Social Welfare thanked God almighty for the gift he gave to
each of the family for giving them the
children.
She added that
though the hospital Was a profit making
one they were at the same time interested in giving back to the general public.
