Super Eagles striker, Ike Uche, on Tuesday donated drugs and children clothing to the Police Mobile Force Squadron 55 (PMF 55) maternity/clinic at Osisioma, near Aba, Abia State.
The
drugs include Zeramal-QS, Nkoyo Glucose tablets, Anolox Ampicillin
capsules, paracetamol tablets and gold circle latex condoms.
Handing
over the drugs to the Commanding Officer of the base, Wilson Dankwano,
on Tuesday, an elder sister of the footballer, Okwuchi Gerry-Anyaogu,
said her brother would have loved to present the drugs himself but for
“the call of duty.”
She said the drugs should be given to patients
for free. According to her, it is the hope of the footballer that the
drugs will go a long way in meeting the medical needs of the clinic.
Responding,
Mr. Dankwano said the donation would attract more patients to the
clinic, which was being patronised by members of the squadron and their
families, as well as the general public.
He said the drugs would
be administered to patients at the clinic free as a way of helping to
solve the health needs of people in the base and the adjoining
communities.
Mr. Dankwano commended the footballer for his sense
of patriotism, and urged other wealthy individuals in the society to
emulate his good gesture.
Drugs and other special gift items were
also presented to children born at the clinic by Mr. Dankwano, assisted
by Uche’s sister.
