Our discussions revolved around the activities of our foundations ; Aisha Buhari Foundation and Qatar Foundation. Possible areas of collaboration identified include education, Healthcare, and Social Development.
This was followed by a visit to Sidra Hospital a Multi speciality four hundred (400) bed capacity state-of-the-art hospital.
In addition to providing specialized medical services, the hospital also serves as a National research centre.
Major part of their work has to do with research in molecular and genetic studies.
It is interesting to see how their focus is shifting from just diagnosing and treatment of medical ailment to population based genetic research, trying to understand and their genetic make-up and categorize the Qataris based on their susceptibility to diseases such as Heart diseases, Diabetes, Hypertension, autism etc. The aim is to develop preventive measures that will protect future generation from these ailments.
The healing garden located on each of the floors provides patients with the desired atmospheric conditions for healing and promotion of health, A therapeutic garden indeed!
This visit has further strengthened my commitment to establish a similar Hospital for the people of Nigeria, as part of my contribution to improving healthcare delivery in our country.
