All is now set for the official reopening of Pilgrim Baptist Hospital Issele-uku for full medical services.
The reopening follows the comprehensive rehabilitation of the Hospital established by a renowned Baptist Minister and founder of the Pilgrim Baptist Mission in Nigeria, the late Rev. Dr. Samuel Wadei Martin.

Moses Ekene Okolie, made available to Journalists at Issele-Uku, the hospital will formally be commissioned by the Governor of Delta State, Senator Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa on Saturday 22nd February, 2020.
Rev. Okolie said that the event which will be graced by the President of Anioma
Delta Baptist Conference, the Rev. Dr. P. F. Anyasi will be flagged-off with
free medical services to be sponsored by Prince Ibe Ozoma Foundation, a
foundation established by an accomplished businessman and philanthropist,
Prince Ibe Ozoma in conjunction with Anioma Medical Professionals Forum
Incorporated headed by Dr Alex Awunor.
The Moderator, revealed that the free medical services will hold for two days
beginning from Saturday 22nd through 23rd February 2020, saying that
registration of interested beneficiaries for the outreach comes up between
Tuesday 19th and Wednesday 20th February, 2020 at the Pilgrim Baptist Hospital,
Issele-uku as from 8 am.
“The free medical outreach which is being sponsored by our beloved brother and
Chairman of the Pilgrim Baptist Hospital rehabilitation Committee, Prince Ibe
Ozoma, is part of the activities lined up for the official opening of the
hospital and it will be featuring: general consultations, free laboratory
services, free dental services, free eye screening and dispensing of lenses,
free surgical procedures and health talk on nutrition and general health
education.
“All the services will be provided at no cost to the beneficiaries. All that is
required is for any interested beneficiary to come to Pilgrim Baptist Hospital
on the 19th and 20th February, for registration where registration cards will
be issued. With the card the beneficiaries will come back on the 22nd and 23rd
and they will be attended to by the medical personnel of the Anioma Medical
Professionals Forum as well as the medical personnel of our newly rehabilitated
Pilgrim Baptist Hospital, Issele-Uku,” Rev. Okolie stated.
He further revealed that the restructured hospital has been equipped to standard, saying that highly qualified doctors and other medical personnel has been engaged to render world class medical services in the hospital.
The head of the Pilgrim Baptist Mission, while appreciating the State Governor,
Senator Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa, for his show of concern towards the sustenance of
the legacies of the late Rev. Dr. S. W. Martin, said that the Pilgrim Baptist
Association and indeed the Anioma Delta Baptist Conference under the leadership
of Rev. P .F Anyasi will continue to be grateful to the Governor for leading
the way for the rehabilitation of the Pilgrim Baptist Hospital, the
restructuring of the Pilgrim Baptist Cathedral and the Rev. S.W. Martin
Memorial Secondary School where a modern six classroom block was restructured
courtesy of the gesture of the Delta State Government.
He also commended the Hospital Rehabilitation Committee headed by Prince Ibe
Ozoma for allowing themselves to be used by God in ensuring that the purpose of
God for the institutions is coming to reality.
“I am still amazed to the glory of God Almighty at the level of passion and
humility exhibited by our brother and father, Prince Ibe Ozoma toward the
rehabilitation of the Institutions. I make bold to say that his choice to lead
the work was from God and not from any man. God at any point in time will
always appoint his own to do his work and that is what I have seen in Prince
Ibe Ozoma leading this great work in Pilgrim Baptist Hospital. He is not a man
of denomination, but a great man of God,” the Moderator stated.
He therefore called on members of Pilgrim Baptist Association, beneficiaries of
the work of the late Rev. Dr. S.W. Martin and indeed the people of Aniocha
North Local Government area to come out in their numbers on Saturday 22nd
February, 2020 to accord the State Governor, Senator Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa and the
President Anioma Delta Baptist Conference, the Rev. Dr. P.F. Anyasi a rousing
welcome as they commission the newly rehabilitated Pilgrim Baptist Hospital and
the newly constructed modern 6 classroom block at the Rev. Dr. S.W. Martin
Memorial Mixed Secondary School, Issele-Uku by 9 am prompt.
