Mojisola Asabi Foundation has performed the groundbreaking for Divine Grace Community Clinic, a medical facility designed for care of the aged and vulnerable groups in Iberekodo, Igboora, Oyo State.
The ceremony, at Olu-Aso Palace, attracted well-wishers, traditional leaders, community stakeholders, and residents.
Divine Grace Community Clinic is a flagship project of the foundation, a non-profit and non-governmental institution improving lives of the most vulnerable through initiatives in elderly care, education, and women empowerment.
The foundation said the project will bring quality healthcare closer to the rural community, reduce mortality rates, and make treatment more affordable and accessible, especially for the elderly who face difficulties travelling long distances for medical attention.

Soji Adeniji, managing director and chief executive officer of Oat Construction, and founder of the foundation said: “Our vision is that no elderly person should suffer or die because they cannot access healthcare. Divine Grace Clinic is built to serve as a beacon of hope for the old, the frail, and for everyone in this area.”
The facility is expected to provide services with attention to geriatrics, among others.
The 12-bed clinic can admit over 10 patients and it is expected to be completed by February and open to public use.
Traditional leaders, led by Olu-Aso of Iberekodo, Igboora; Oba Jamiu Badmus and community members described the initiative as timely, given challenges faced by the elderly in accessing medical facilities.
Rev Sunday Johnson, MCN bishop of Ibarapa diocese, thanked the foundation, urging everyone to key into it by donating resources to ensure continuation of the project.
Speakers hailed the foundation for prioritising welfare of the aged, which are ignored in rural healthcare planning.
