Ogungbo, spoke with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Abuja ahead of the Conference, scheduled for Nov. 19, in Lagos.

” These doctors along with their counterparts in Nigeria are contributing to the health care industry in Nigeria, “he said.

Ogungbo said during the COVID years, DFC raised money to procure hundreds of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE).

He said the PPE were distributed to hospitals across the nation to support the efforts of government.

” Individually and through strategic collaborations, we are improving the quality of healthcare delivery in Nigeria.

” We are desirous of building long-lasting relationships and so invite everyone to be part of our historic first conference in Lagos,” Ogungbo said.
