Second Medical Mission, Abuja & Lagos

Dr. Stuart Quartemont made it with Dave Cook for two weeks. We were also able to consult and pray with a PROFOH member, her 40 year old Uncle had had multiple strokes. One of the greatest needs in most developing countries is finding competent medical doctors who will assess a condition and give a professional advice that others can rely on, as most people are wrongly diagnosed and treated in these countries .We have performed this services many times to help people who would otherwise have to travel abroad to waste their money as most of this illness are so advance that nothing can be done medically. We had performed several surgeries at Gida Mangoro Hospital in 2010. It was very gratifying to know that our work led to the renovation and upgrade of the Hospital, staff expressed appreciation to Dr. Quartemont and Kama for making it possible to attract Government attention.

Alex Dedjo a PROFOH supporter took us to a growing community near Abuja, the capital city to visit his friend the Emir of Jiwa one of the oldest communities in Nigeria. This Muslim leader said he had been following our organization efforts for several years and he wanted to assist us. He said that we should not fear violence Jihad from his group. His interpretation of a Holy Jihad is serving others who are less fortunate, like we had been doing. To hear those words from the Emir was very gratifying and inspiring to our team. The simple act of kindness to humanity from any religion Moslems, Christians and others is being described as the true Jihad. We came back to Lagos and performed few pediatric hernias at Ago Medical Centre, Okota area of Lagos. Another PROFOH member, David took us around Lagos including a new Hospital built in Victoria Island owned by city of David Redeem Church and secured commitments to use it for our next medical mission in June-July. The team left back to the US on the 20 of Feb. Dave Cook said he saw the Nigerian reality where poverty and wealth are both extreme beyond understanding
