A Surgeon Who Loves Women

on
Dr. Benjamin Olowojebutu is a surgeon who does periodic medical missions in Lagos. And his focus is mostly free fibroid operation. As a specialist in maternal health, Ben is one surgeon who would do ANYTHING just to keep a woman alive. He wants to do 105 free surgeries this year!

“How can a woman who sell roasted corn by the bus stop and struggles to feed her family inside the one room apartment they are squatting in pay 200k for fibroid operation?”


“Some of them, when they show up in the hospital after years of taking herbs in the hope of shrinking the fibroid, they look pregnant, frail, weak and dying”.
Who won’t be moved with compassion seeing such ailing albeit helpless woman in front of you?"

This year alone, Ben has operated on more than 75 women – taking out their fibroids (and in some, any other abnormalities) for free.

You can be part of what Ben is doing if you feel inspired by it. You only need to know how invaluable your contribution is when you see that pregnant “65 year old dying widow” come over to say thank you with bottles of palm oil and garri (because that’s all she’s got) only this time she’s looking her real age – 35 and ravishing. That’s how vicious fibroid could be. And that’s why Ben is helping out.
Wouldn’t you rather join him on this journey?"
