The Redeemed Christian Church of God, RCCG, has built the first intensive care unit to be located in the Alimosho Local Government Area of Lagos State.
Built by Region 36 of the church, the multimillion health facility was named after the General Overseer of the church, Enoch Adeboye, and his wife, Folu.
Unveiling the facility on Friday, at the Alimosho General Hospital in the Igando area of the state Mrs Adeboye said health is wealth because “a person who is not in perfect health, such person cannot enjoy the millions”.
“So, health is more important than prosperity. That is to say that whatever you may be desiring to have, materially today, let us have and desire good health,” she stated.
The pastor in charge of the region, Dele Jaiyeoba, said the project was part of the corporate social responsibility drive of the Pentecostal church.
According to him, “RCCG has always been involved in corporate social responsibility. In 2011, Daddy Adeboye made a meeting of the felt needs of members and the host community mandatory for every branch of the church. Today, in RCCG as a pastor, your monthly report is incomplete until you have reported your monthly CSR activity.
“When we commenced as a region in September last year, we decided to embrace a culture of ‘if it is not very good, it is not good enough.’ This excellent culture is what brought CSR to our region, our CSR should have an impact on the host community and this is the inspiration that gave birth to Enoch and Folu Adeboye Intensive Care Unit of the Alimosho General Hospital, Igando.”
