There was sigh of relief for some poor and vulnerable patients receiving treatment at Mararaba Medical Centre, when members of NewPhase Gospel Club visited them, and assisted in settle their medical bills.
It was observed that the gesture by the Club, which is a humanitarian support arm of the NewPhase Full Gospel Church, Mararaba brought smiles and tears of joy not only on the faces of the direct beneficiaries, but also on some of their family members.
Speaking during the second edition of its outreach programme, the President of the Club, Pastor Mathew Agada, revealed that N500,000 had been budgeted to assist some of the patients on admission at the hospital, but cannot fully afford the cost of their medical care.
Pst. Agada, who is also the Senior Pastor of the NewPhase church, said explained that the support was part of the club’s major project for 2024 calender, aimed at helping less privileged people in communities to access healthcare services.
This, he said was the rationale behind the choice of Mararaba Medical Centre, given that there are the high number of less privileged people seeking medical attention in the hospital but do not have money
He adds: “For instance, there are some people on admission with a list of drugs to buy but do not have enough money. We met a patient that is about to leave the hospital against medical advice because he has no money. So, we came to see what we can do to help such people.
“Other people that need surgery, but don’t have enough money; we are here to support such people and clear their bill.”
The clergyman noted that the Club assisted other patients were supposed to be discharged but they could not clear their bills.
He added that intervention was also extended to children who are on admission and needed blood and IV fluids, but their parents could not afford to pay for them.
According to him: “There is also a woman who successfully delivered her baby but has been bleeding; we supported the husband to offset the bills.
“A patient just came in with a severe emergency and didn’t have money. And thank God we have been able to pay for all the drugs needed to sustain his life.
“Life first before we talk about food; good health first before we talk about clothes, accommodation and other things.
“The health of the poor and vulnerable people is our priority this year and we have chosen to do this out of our love for humanity and the joy in servicing the needs of humanity.
“It is also part of the commandment of our God to help the less privileged.”
On his part, the Patron of the club, Dr. Noah Ekele, who reiterated the Club’s committment to sustain its outreach programme, revealed that the resources for the 2024 major project was mobilised through freewill donation from its members.
Ekele, a medical doctor, opined that beside offsetting medical bills of the less privileged, the club equally reach out to orphanages and less privileged homes, as well as prison visits to support and encourage imamates in the society.
While thanking the club for the support, one of the beneficiaries, Mr Joseph Agbo, whose wife was being operated in the emergency ward of the facility, following excessive bleeding after child delivery at a primary healthcare, said the help was very apt, as it brought respite to his family.
Agbo, who claimed to be a farmer, explained that he was assisted with the sum of N45,000, which he paid for the treatment of his wife, who was at the point of death after she gave birth.
His words: “She was bleeding badly and at the point of death. She needs emergency attention, but I have exhausted all the money I have.
“I was wondering how I could pay for the blood, laboratory and other bills before the NewPhase Gospel Club came to my rescue.
“I don’t know them from anywhere. They asked about my wife’s case, I explained, and they gave me N45,000.
“I never expected such support,” Agbo said and burst into tears.
Not left out, the Head of Nursing Services of the centre, Mrs Veronica Ayeache, who received and took members of the round the facility, also commended the club for the lifesaving intervention initiative, which she said will help improve to access to healthcare in the society.
