Medical Packs

Through the Health Partners International of Canada, we are purchasing 6 medical packs to take with us. These will be given to Lasuth Teaching Hospital or the hospital in ljebu-lfe or ljebu-Ode. Wherever our Nigerian hosts feel they will most benefit.

Each medical pack weighs 50 pounds, costs approx $575 and contains:
  • antibiotics
  • antiemetics
  • oral rehydration
  • anti-ulcer medication
  • analgesics
  • antihistamines
  • antiparasitics
  • antifungals
  • antihypertensives
  • vitamins
  • antimalarials
  • medical supplies
  • topical creams
  • eye & ear drops and ointments

With the cooperation of our clubs, we are hoping to a Rotary District Simplified Grant to cover half the cost of the medical packs.
