Coco medicare foundation was launched  on the 10th of August. In case you missed it read here…
The event was an amazing one,  started with an opening prayer from one of the mothers, the women marched briefly for about five minutes along the streets( most of them got pains in the legs, knees, arthritis), but laughed back to the event with songs as water became the most needed supplement at the time.
According to Collette Orji (the founder and the CEO) of Coco medicare, the highlight of the event was picture time with everyone on the red carpet “we added that to the event to add some touch to our mothers.  This was indeed one moment I cherished during the days activity.” Coco emphasized with a big smile on her face.

Next was telling them about the NGO . What coco Medicare foundation is all about, how it originated, what our objectives are and why it is important we all get informed. Health is wealth…but information is life.
Doctors came on next and talked to everyone. They were advised on why it is important to do what it takes to avoid surgery and eat right. The main topic of the day was breast cancer, arthritis and eating right. Anything worth avoiding going under the knife or serious health disorders is an important discussion to today’s society.

In a short interview with Delia Innoma, the Cameroonian bred Nigerian actress disclosed how the foundation came about, enjoy

First of all, let me briefly explain how coco Medicare foundation came about .

My mum suffered from a very serious arthritis for a while which led to us seeking medical help in India. A surgery was carried out on her knees and she’s great for over eight months now. The hospital in India and I came into partnership on how we could help reach out to, inform, educate other mothers, women, ladies on what to do, how to go about to avoid surgery if possible. Let the knife be the last option. Why not keep your environment clean and protect malaria than pay so much for treatments and hospital beds. Prevention is still better than cure and all we need is information not money.
Until, a crisis is terrible, the NGO also assist you with medical information and helps you till the complete contacts, processes, trips, information and definitely half of what the suppose the cost could have been.
AIMS AND OBJECTIVES  OF THE ORGANIZATION

​The aims and objectives of the organization in Nigeria and elsewhere are to:

1. ​To gather and disseminate useful pieces of information to the general public and the citizenship

2.​To act as an intercessor between patience that are in need of medical aid and do not know where or who to ask.

3.​To work with Wockhardt Hospitals in providing medical services to patience who are in need of Medicare outside of the country.

4.​To use her reputation and vast networks to generate and maintain a trust fund for people who cannot sincerely afford the healthcare they need.

5.​To work together with other healthcare based agencies and foundations where necessary for the benefit of the common man.

6.​To work with governmental agencies to improve the health conditions in the country if and when called upon to do so.

7.​To assist the less privileged via the healthcare trust fund of her foundation to a free or a partly free healthcare service (s).

Trust me… Until you start seeing a thousand Naira as some good money ,you may never be able to know how far that can go to save a life.
