Recognising the threat of the Ebola Virus Disease, EVD,  High Life Church in partnership with the Etiosa Zone of the Association of General and Private Medical Practitioners of Nigeria, AGPMPN, to donate 30 Infectious Disease Control, IDC, Kits and 30 non-contact thermometers for use in the early detection of the disease in the zone.

Head Pastor, High Life Church, Pastor Babatunde Carlton Williams said doctors are seen as Ministers of God for good.
“Everything that brings healing to people must be encouraged. This makes Doctors Ministers of God for good; as derivable from the fourth verse of the 13th chapter of Apostle Paul’s letter to the believers in Rome. This sits right at the heart of the Empowering Our Community strategy of High Life”.

Williams noted that the Church considers the donation to be a civic duty as representatives of Jesus Christ, in support of the commendable commitment of the Federal and Lagos State Governments to subdue the Ebola Virus Disease.

The items were received on behalf of the Etiosa Local Government Area Branch of the AGPMPN by Dr Efosa Aruede,  Proprietor of BAEFEM Specialist Hospital in Victoria Garden City in the Etiosa Local Government Area of Lagos State.

The donations would be useful for the control of  infectious diseases that bedevil medical practice in the nation. This, he said, is the reason that the Association would ensure that the donations would be put to responsible use.

Also, Dr Babatunde Palomeras, a past Zonal Chairman of the Association appreciated High Life Church for being at the forefront of fight against the dreaded Ebola virus saying that the church is truly “taking the message right from the pulpit to the warfront”.
