CLOSURE OF PRECIOUS HOSPITAL OWNED BY DR. MICHAEL GBALA, THE CMAC OF UNIMEDTHC SHOULDN'T BE THE END OF THE CASE; His humble step down as the CMAC or Removal as the CMAC of UNIMEDTHC should be ensured. By Olabanji Joel

It has been reported that the den of quacks called precious Hospital in Ondo State owned by Dr Michael Gbala has been shut down but the agitation for justice still persists as it is believed that shutting down the facility isn't enough.

Many nurses believe if the owner of the facility who is a well grounded person with adequate knowledge on what professionalism is doesn't get served with deserved punishment, then others who indulge in such a ridiculous act against the profession will not desist from it. 

The uproar of the nurses which caused the private hospital to be closed still remains strong as it is believed that a man deeply involved in quackery invariably doesn't value professional nurses which makes him unfit to lead an organization with the presence of nurses, the call for him to step down or be removed as the CMAC of UNIMEDTHC Ondo State has glued to lips of many nurses.

The inhumane treatment of nurses working at UNIMEDTHC has been linked to the value placed on the profession by the Chief Medical Director of the institution Dr. Oluwole Ige, the CMAC, Dr. Michael Gbala and other members of the hospital's management team. The management of the hospital keeps on maltreating the nurses but feeds the public with false report with the claim that they owe only 47nurses salary arrears which is just 3months. The CMD's statement about the unpaid salary arrears which they claim to have paid has been confirmed to be false as many of the nurses are still being owed salaries ranging from 3months to 6months depending on the period they got employed.

It is imperative for Dr. Michael Gbala to step down from his position as the Chairman Medical Advisory Committee of UNIMEDTHC Ondo State so that the nurses can be sure they are in an environment being led by someone who values what they do. Therefore Dr. Michael Gbala should either step down honourably or be removed from the position.

From the concerned nurses.

2025 International Nurses Day Write-up by Olabanji Joel Orolugbagbe

"Caring for Nurses: The Key to a Stronger Economy" The 2025 International Nurses Day theme, "Our Nurses, Our Future; Caring for Nurses Strengthens Economies," resonates deeply with nurses worldwide. As the International Council of Nurses (ICN) aptly puts it, "Building on the success of the 2024 International Nurses Day theme, The Economic Power of Care, the 2025 theme shifts focus to the health and wellbeing of nurses." The Unseen Struggles of Nurses Nursing has evolved significantly over the years, with numerous specialities and forms of care aimed at promoting patient health, preventing illness, and facilitating coping with disabilities and nursing patients to a peaceful death. However, the emotional, physical, social, and financial toll on nurses remains largely unaddressed. Who cares for the heart that cares? The increasing workload, economic pressures, and fear of litigation have made nursing jobs more challenging than ever. Several nurses have left t...

The Reality of Marriage: Beyond Love by Olabanji Joel Orolugbagbe

Image
In my three years of marriage and what I have seen of marriages around me, I have come to realize that every day is an opportunity to celebrate love, foster understanding, practice forgiveness, and make sacrifices. Contrary to the notion that all you need for a successful marriage is love, I have learned that it takes intentional effort and investment from both partners. Sacrifices and forgiveness are just as crucial as love in making a marriage last, peaceful, and happy. Marriage is often romanticized, but the reality is that it requires hard work and dedication, which many marriage speakers tend not to speak about. Love alone isn't enough; financial stability also plays a significant role in strengthening the bond in marriage. Forgiveness and sacrifice are essential, not just during challenging times but as a continuous process. Both partners must be willing to sacrifice their individual interests and preferences to maintain peace and harmony and family growth. As the saying goes...

PRIORITIZING WHAT MATTERS by Olabanji Joel Orolugbagbe

Image
Yesterday, I discharged a very demanding patient home. As she was about to leave the ward with her daughter, she called me over for a hug and expressed her gratitude. She told her daughter that I was a good nurse and was happy that I was part of her care team throughout her hospital stay. This gesture hit me differently, and it motivated me to do even more for my patients. As an adult with family responsibilities, I have come to realize that my profession is not just a job but a source of sustenance. I have learned to prioritize my role as a nurse above every thing I was actively doing before having a family, and the appreciation from patients like this one means a lot to me. Recently, I had a conversation with my cousin, and I shared with him that the only thing that can get under my skin is being told I am not good at my job because I see it as a threat to my source of livelihood and if genuinely done, I see it as a push to improve myself. I have accepted that I have shifted my focus...
