Current Healthcare Center at Toru-Angiama Community

 


Here is an introduction to the current Healthcare Center at Toru-Angiama Community in Patani LGA, Delta State of Nigeria. It is the center where the members of the community are attended to for their medical and health concerns and needs.







The above pics show the interior of the healthcare center. There is a need for expansion, as well as the acquisition of equipment to aid and assist the healthcare practitioners in their services to the members of the community.

My cousin Benaebi Bentari Oguoko (General), an Environmental Consultant and an Ijaw (Izon) Cultural Researcher based in England, is the brains behind this project. Together, we are passionate in the provision of basic healthcare to our community.

This is the vision of the November 2023 Fundraising: To expand the healthcare center by rebuilding two adjacent dilapidated buildings to make room for additional healthcare services to be provided to the community, as well as purchasing drugs and equipment to enable the Free Healthcare Initiative.

The assistance and support of individuals, organizations, institutions and other communities will be needed to attain this goal.

Image
By Elagha Isaac   On February 23, 1966, the autonomous Niger Delta Republic was declared by Isaac Jasper Adaka Boro, who believed the people of the area, mostly Ijaw, deserved a larger share of the proceeds of the oil wealth, and considered armed revolt as the only way to ensure that.  He formed the Niger Delta Volunteer Force, an armed militia with members consisting mainly of his fellow Ijaw ethnic group, and fought with federal forces for 12 days before being defeated.  He and his comrades were jailed for treason, but Boro was granted amnesty by General Yakubu Gowon  on the eve of the Nigerian civil war in May 1967, and commissioned as a major in the Nigerian army. He died in 1968 at Ogu, near Okrika, in Rivers State.
