Loveworld Medical Center Groundbreaking Ceremony

Tuesday saw a great day in the history of trauma management in Nigeria and in Africa as a whole, as the ground breaking ceremony of the Loveworld Medical Centre Aseese took place in the Loveworld Crusade Grounds, where construction is due to begin.

 

The Chairman of this auspicious event; the Highly Esteemed Reverend Tom Amenkhienan, member of the Central Executive Council of the Loveworld Nation expressed profound gratitude to Pastor Chris Oyakhilome for the vision of the LoveWorld Medical Center, and expressed that the hospital will contribute significantly to the care of critically ill patients, and it will also mark a new beginning in trauma and emergency care in Nigeria. “Injuries are a major cause of morbidity and mortality in both developing and developed countries. About 5.8 million people die each year as a result of injuries, overall, injuries are estimated to be the third most common cause of death globally,” he said.

Trauma has become a global public health problem. It is the 9th leading cause of death globally with over 3,200 deaths recorded daily. Research has shown that the outcomes of accidents and emergencies are better when there is a skilled first responder on the scene.

 

The Trauma Care Emergency Responder Assistance App (TCERA), connects the victims of emergencies with TCIF First Responders for prompt assistance.

 

Through the TCERA User app, our first responders can get alerted about emergencies close to their locations on their TCERA Responder App and within 10 minutes the victim will have access to first aid before the arrival of the ambulance.
