Governor Okezie Ikpeazu of Abia State has charged 54 newly inducted Medical Doctors from the Babcock University in Ilishan-Remo, Ogun State ,to always uphold their oath to serve mankind without prejudice.
Ikpeazu gave the charge during the induction of the new Medical Doctors from the Benjamin Carson (Snr.) College of Health & Medical Sciences by the Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria into the professional body
While commending Babcock for the quality of training, Dr. Ikpeazu who is also a parent reminded the inductees to persevere
For the Medical Elder, Prof Ayodele Desalu, the counsel is to put God first. “Whatever you do in your professional life, put God first. Practice Medicine for humanity. Doctors cure but God heals.” “You are going to meet with all kinds of temptations. Money is important but it isn’t everything. Don’t allow money to be your guide.”
The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Honourable Femi Gbajabiamila also lent his voice. Hon Gbajabiamila who was represented by Chairman of the Committee on Health, Dr. S. B. Adejare, reminded the inductees not to forget the country which gave them the training to become medical doctors.
“We need our doctors,” he said. “Please consider your country and God will be with you.”
The wife of the Ogun State governor, Her Excellency Mrs Bamidele Abiodun offered similar counsel.
She told them to uphold the values they had imbibed in the course of their training. While congratulating the inductees, parents and sponsors for the faith reposed in the institution,
President/Vice Chancellor, Prof. Ademola Tayo urged the doctors to imbibe new approaches and be on top of their jobs especially with technological advancement. “Medical practice is more than challenging at a time you are being inducted into practice,” said Prof. Tayo.
“You need to develop a trusting doctor-patient relationship. Your patients need to trust you that you can solve their health challenges. They are not digital widgets but analog, non-linear, feeling creatures who demand respect and intelligence.”
He commended the faculty for their dedication and the commitment to upholding the University’s philosophy of holistic education.He said the University was ready to partner with government at all levels and corporate bodies to undertake medical research that would positively impact human lives.
The Provost of the College, Prof. Barnabas Mandong observed that this class of inductees is the brightest since the inception of the school with 15 of them having distinctions in various courses.Among these were: Perelade Kingdom with 8 distinctions, Toluwalope Ogunjimi with 7 distinctions, Vivian Ezeh with 6 distinctions, Betsy Ikpeazu and Simisola Imisiolouwa with 4 distinctions each.
“To our graduates, I salute your perseverance, determination and courage to go through the rigours of the medical training. I believe the sky shall be the beginning of your growth.” he added
“I have no doubt whatsoever of the quality of training these doctors have received. If it were not so, I would not have sent my daughter here and another coming along,” he said.
“I am a firm believer of the Nigerian project. Trials will come but giants stand tall in the midst of trials.”Council Registrar, Dr. Tajudeen Sanusi called on the inductees to remember that as doctors, they have a code of medical ethics to uphold.
“Ensure you uphold the standards and avoid anything that would compromise your professionalism whether within or outside the country,” he said.
