General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, RCCG, Pastor Enoch Adeboye has donated some medical supplies to the Lagos State Government to support its efforts in equipping medical staff with necessary protective gears needed to contain the coronavirus pandemic.
The items include 8,000 hand sanitizers, 8,000 surgical face masks and 200,000 hand gloves.
While presenting the donations at Mainland Hospital (formerly Infectious Disease Hospital), Yaba, the Assistant General Overseer, Admin/Personnel of the RCCG, Pastor Funsho Odesola, said: “We commend the sacrifices that all medical personnel are making at this time, the church continues to pray for them as they give their sacrifice of love even as the RCCG as a church agrees that combating COVID-19 is by no means work for all.”
Odesola stated that the donations, in addition to other CSR programmes of the church, is a confirmation of the broadness of mind and reach of the church.
The donation of medical supplies is in addition to other supports given by the RCCG to the health sector, ahead of the coronavirus pandemic.
The church delivered on its commitment to strengthen and support the Nigerian healthcare system with the donation of 11 Intensive Care Units, ICU, beds fully fitted with ventilators in Lagos, Ogun and Plateau states to contribute to the improvement of healthcare facilities in Nigeria, which is now found to be very useful as the government works round the clock to curtail COVID-19 pandemic
