The Planter of Christ Apostolic Church Adamimogo Grace of Mercy Prayer Mountain Worldwide, Prophet Sam Olu-Alo has called on well-to-do Nigerians to support the government in providing quality healthcare services.

Speaking at the Foundation laying ceremony witnessed by friends, admirers, members, and partners of the ministry, the man of God stated that the hospital’s core mission is to respond quickly to the health needs of the less privileged, the indigent, and the vulnerable.

Stressing the importance of the spiritual and physical wellness of the people for productivity, Olu Alo, renowned for his philanthropic initiatives, said the multimillion naira healthcare facility would bridge the gap and enhance the accessibility of the less privileged to quality medicare.

Declaring that the hospital is not for profit, he said, “The intention is to set up a facility that can tend to the needs of the less privileged while offering world-class medical expertise.”

He clarified that the hospital when completed would be opened to all people irrespective of their religion, ethnic groups, languages.

The renowned prophet disclosed that plans are in the pipeline to recruit medical practitioners from across the globe, including consultants from Canada, the United States, and other countries worldwide to operate and run the hospital.

The leading members of the Implementation Committee for the project, comprising Bolaji Adisa, Afolabi Imoukhuede, Lanre Ajibade, and Dr. Olufemi Faweya, assured that the project, which will engage international collaboration, will bring together the best minds and facilities in the medical field to ensure that patients receive the highest standard of care.

They commended Prophet Olu Alo for always coming to the assistance of the less privileged and all his efforts at impacting the society.

Oba Awokoya-Yesufu said, “As a community, we commend your thoughtfulness and vision in establishing this vital healthcare facility. We have not demanded money or personal gifts, just the development of our land. We are grateful that Baba has brought this infrastructural development that puts us on the map.”

The first phase of the Sam Olu Alo Foundation General Hospital, expected to be launched later in the year, will offer comprehensive medical services encompassing maternal and child health, primary care, geriatric care, and ophthalmology services.

Prophet Olu-Alo who called on well meaning Nigerians to join in the execution of the project, announced the establishment of the hospital in December, 2023 at a Church Event.

Speaking at Jesus City, ibeju, Lekki Epe Express Way Lagos, he revealed that the decision to build the hospital was motivated by the inadequate healthcare infrastructure and the exorbitant cost of medical services.

“I have witnessed the suffering of many Nigerians who cannot afford quality healthcare. It is disheartening to see people struggle due to the high cost of medical services,” the cleric said.

“The SOAF Hospital is my contribution towards making healthcare accessible and affordable for all.”

He then called on well-meaning Nigerians to contribute to the noble cause by supporting the Sam Olu-Alo Foundation with donations of trailers of cement, building materials, and health equipment to facilitate the timely commencement of the hospital’s construction.

“This is a collective effort, and I believe that together, we can make a significant impact on the lives of many. I urge fellow Nigerians and philanthropists to join hands with the Sam Olu-Alo Foundation in this endeavor,” he said.
