Inspiration
In April 2016, Idowu Emmanuel told Vanguard News that he was denied surgery at the General Hospital, Broad Street, Lagos, because the nurses could not find his case file. Despite arriving at the hospital’s surgical outpatient department at 7 am for his procedure,
Emmanuel was kept waiting for hours. “It took about four hours before the records officer opened an emergency file for me. Worse still, I was given a completely new appointment date,” he complained.
This and many more events over the years are the bedrock of our inspiration.
