President's Message
In the last couple of years, Babcock University has propagated a vision for a brighter future. Now we are taking this vision to the next level - medical education and quality healthcare delivery.
I believe that the development of Africa is contingent on two factors - a powerful education and superb healthcare service. That is why we are introducing in our programme a world-class medical education that will train global leaders in medical research and healthcare delivery, thus impacting the society with care and compassion.
That you have this brochure in your hand is an indication that you are an essential factor in the actualization of this vision. You need to join in providing hope for a brighter future - hope for a solution to new diseases and emerging strains of old infections that plague our communities; hope for some youth, gifted hands who must be given the best education, so that they can impact the health of our communities in an environment of care and compassion; hope for some superbly trained medical professionals who are constrained to overseas practice for want of adequate opportunity to function locally and provide the expertise needed to guarantee quality healthcare delivery to our communities; indeed hope for some children with congenital diseases who will certainly die because they cannot afford sophisticated surgeries abroad and for whom we must provide comparable solutions locally; yes hope that a donor like you will have your gift well managed and appropriated to make the greatest impact possible.
Is it not only expedient, then, that you support this course that will change the destinies of many forever? Remember, the life really lived is that lived for others. To support the Babcock University College of Health & Medical Sciences is to reach out and touch the future, and to fill the future with hope, health and happiness, an impact that will endure beyond a lifetime. I know you will, because you care.
J.A. Kayode Makinde, PhD
