UDF Projects
Accessible
Healthcare
System
According to Nigerian authorities, Nigeria loses more than $1 billion annually to medical tourism as tens of thousands of Nigerians travel abroad in search of better medical treatment. But the question is: how many of the country's more than 206 million people can afford medical care abroad?
The solution is to build and support our healthcare system in order to save more lives at the local level. This is achievable. UDF's goal is to help turn Igbotako General Hospital into a first-class hospital in Ondo State.
The organisation consists of passionate members who voluntarily donate to build and equip a standard hospital for people in the community as well as neighbouring towns. We cannot afford to lose our people's lives in an untimely manner anymore.
What We Have
Built So Far
UDF kicked off with two projects in 2020, both designed to enhance the efficient practice and support development of Igbotako General Hospital. The organisation renovated and fully equipped the Maternity Ward and Youth Corpers' Lodge of the hospital. The project includes an extension of the maternity building, plumbing, window burglary, electrical, carpentry, ceiling and painting works. The two projects cost the organisation the sum of ₦2,860,000 UDF has concluded further arrangements to equip the hospital and carry out necessary renovations in subsequent years. Ugbotako Diaspora Family collaborates with Igbotako Development Forum (IDF), an organisation established to unite and support development efforts by community leaders. UDF donated ₦1,000,000for building a medical laboratory to support the work of medical professionals at the town's hospital.
