Charitable Activities:
In July 2010, we launched an initiative to establish a Dialysis Center in Calabar, to improve the healthcare delivery in the state. This project is in progress as we continue to raise awareness on good healthcare delivery in our part of the country.
In December 2003, we undertook a program to Renovate and upgrade the whole Maternity Complex – Labor and Intensive Care Unit of the General Hospital, Mary Slassor Road, in Calabar. This project provided the Doctors, Nurses and patients a cleaner place to work and a happy place to deliver.
In 1995, we launched our scholarship program in the University of Calabar, to benefit students of Efik origin. Our target disciplines included Medicine, Education, Engineering, Computer and Management Sciences, Law and Agriculture. As of December 2009, Eleven students, including Eight Medical Doctors, one in Law and two in Education; benefited from the scholarship program, successfully completed their studies and graduated from the University of Calabar.
