Ekiti first lady advocates special fund for poor patients
Ekiti’s first lady Olayemi Oyebanji has advocated a special fund for indigent patients to offset their medical bills.
The governor’s wife stated this while hosting the management team of Ekiti State Teaching Hospital in Ado Ekiti on Tuesday.
Ms Oyebanji said such a fund would be set aside in a purse for needy patients to save them from the streets, begging, and stress they passed through while looking for financial assistance from the public.
She told the team of the health institution to look inward and map out a strategy for ensuring the workability of the initiative.
The first lady expressed the belief that the institution could also leverage the goodwill of the present administration to generate funds from wealthy Ekiti citizens.
She expressed the readiness of her office to partner the teaching hospital for optimal performance.
