Dear Hospital Community,
As the crescent moon ushers in the holy month of Ramadan, I am filled with gratitude and hope.
Today marks not just the beginning of a sacred time for our Muslim brothers and sisters but also a period of reflection, compassion, and renewal for us all after almost two years of industrial turbulence.
To our dedicated staff, your unwavering commitment to care and heal is a testament to the human spirit.
Ramadan teaches us all the virtues of patience and perseverance, qualities that resonate deeply within the halls of our dear hospital.
Let this month be a reminder of the strength that lies in unity and the power of collective empathy and determination.
To our valued patients, especially those observing Ramadan, your courage and resilience are inspiring despite facing illnesses.
May this time of fasting bring you not only physical purification but also spiritual enlightenment and inner peace.
We are here to support you, to ensure your health needs are met with the utmost respect for your faith and practices.
Together, let us embrace the spirit of Ramadan.
Let us reach out with kindness, offer support to those in need, and reflect on the blessings we have.
May this month be a beacon of hope and healing for each one of us.
Wishing you a peaceful and blessed Ramadan.
Warm regards,
Prof John A.O. Okeniyi,
Chief Medical Director, OAUTHC, Ile-Ife.
