Betta Edu Leads APC Women’s Humanitarian Outreach to Calabar Hospital.
The outreach, led by the Directorate’s Co-Director, Dr.
Betta Edu, was undertaken ahead of Monday’s APC presidential campaign rally in Calabar, following a directive by the First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, urging members of the directorate to extend compassion and practical support to women and children in hospitals.
During the visit, Edu and members of the delegation toured the maternity, postnatal, accident and emergency, and children’s wards, where they interacted with patients, offered financial assistance and encouraged families facing challenging medical circumstances.
Speaking with journalists after the visit, Edu said the initiative reflected the humanitarian dimension of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda, stressing that political mobilisation should also translate into tangible expressions of compassion and solidarity with vulnerable citizens. She explained that the team encountered patients with different medical challenges, including women awaiting surgery, those recovering from medical procedures and families struggling to meet healthcare expenses. “We met patients with different experiences. Some had heartbreaking stories, while others needed funds for surgery, and some had already undergone surgery and were recuperating.
