Healthcare

Ajose Foundation’s health programs are focused on combating the deadliest communicable diseases, ensuring access to essential health services to increase the life expectancy of individuals and reduce maternal and child mortality. Ajose continues to work in the following areas:

·       Working with the National Association of Nigerian Nurses and Midwives Ogun State Council (NANNNM) to champion the improvement of maternal and infant health.

·       Launch of the Hepatitis Zero World Eradication Project in Ado Odo/Ota Local Government in collaboration with the Ogun State Primary Health Care Board, Ministry of Health and Hepatitis Zero Commission. The pilot project reached about 480 patients (women constituting 65% of the numbers) who were screened for Hepatitis B and C with follow up treatments and vaccinations scheduled where necessary.

·       Medical outreach organized in collaboration with Wellness Africa Foundation Iloti, Ijebu-Ode to commemorate the International Day of Rural Women. The outreach had medical doctors conducting free consultations and tests on the women in attendance with medications administered where necessary.

Education

·       In the area of education, Abiodun understands how knowledge can help change the economic fortunes of the state. Her passion to improving the knowledge base of the children is a pointer to the administration’s unalloyed commitment to address the issue of literacy. To her credit, 42,000 textbooks and instructional materials were donated to the state by Learn Africa Plc in a colourful event that took place at the Mitros Hall. The books and instructional materials have been distributed and this has increased the number of books in the libraries of most schools and had greatly helped in facilitating and promoting reading culture. The latter has faded over the years among the young and the old particularly given the advent of the internet and other electronic media applications.
