Fibroid: Lulu-Briggs Foundation Partners Teaching Hospitals To Treat 100 Women

Repreive would now come the way of about one hundred indigent women suffering severe uterine fibroid hyperplasia as they would receive free surgical operations, including post treatment care, put together by the O.B. Lulu-Briggs Foundation in partnership with Rivers State University Teaching Hospital and the University of Port Harcourt Teaching Hospitals.
Disclosing this the Coordinator of the programme for the foundation,Mrs Ineba Tongkam during a press conference, Friday, stated that it would be part of celebrations of the 18th Anniversary of the Foundation, and Raising Awareness about Uterine Fibroid.
“The initiative for raising awareness about uterine fibroids and providing 100 free surgeries came as a result of the experience we encountered during the foundation’s recent Free Medical Mission in BaKana, Degema Local Government Area from May 20-24, she said.
She revealed that a total of 3,676 persons were treated by the foundation at Bakana, where 22 women more were diagnosed of having fibroid, but could not be treated due to after-care requirements that were too sensitive to handle at that time.
Mrs. Tongkam stated that the O.B.Lulu-Briggs Foundation was established in September 2001 by Dr.Mrs Seinye O.B.Lulu-Briggs to institutionalise and structure her husband,the High Chief O.B. Lulu-Briggs’ cheerful philanthropy which has reached out to the needy in the society.
She continued that since 2005 the foundation has provided quality health care services to 128, 833 vulnerable persons in 32 free medical outreaches in Rivers, Bayelsa, Cross Rivers and Akwa Ibom states.
According to her, “Subsequently, other programmes evolved namely: the access to clean water and sanitation, Education/Scholarships, Micro Credit and Entrepreneurship Programmes”.
The Programme Coordinator further hinted that the foundation also engages in promotion of preventive health through awareness raising campaigns, adding that the foundation in celebrating 18 years of impact in community service is drawing awareness to .uterine fibroid.
