In celebration of the festive season, the Non-Governmental Organization Smiles on Faces brought joy and comfort to paediatric patients at the Obafemi Awolowo University Teaching Hospitals Complex (OAUTHC) on December 23.
The initiative, aimed at spreading love during the yuletide period, reaffirmed the organization’s dedication to supporting children and their families during challenging times.
Led by Pharm. Oluwatosin Oyewale, the Smiles on Faces team distributed an array of gifts and essential items to patients across various paediatric wards.
Newborns in the neonatal and postnatal units received diapers, booties, and toys, while older children were presented with puzzles, socks, clothes, biscuits, and drinks. Parents and guardians were not overlooked, receiving food supplies to ease their burdens during the festive season. The team also extended their generosity to security personnel and healthcare providers in the pediatric unit, gifting customized pens as tokens of appreciation for their unwavering dedication and service.
The Smiles on Faces initiative has consistently demonstrated a strong commitment to philanthropy, positively impacting the lives of patients and their families at OAUTHC. Their continuous support serves as a beacon of hope and compassion, embodying the true spirit of giving.
