LHCHF -
The Inspiration
LHCHF was incorporated in October 2017 from private financing in memory of Lady Helen Odeka, a devoted healthcare and social worker who dedicated over 50 years of her working life to care for mothers and children in the Western part of Nigeria.
Initially, she trained as a teacher and was engaged in Christian charity work which exposed her to the plight of nursing mothers and babies. This inspired her to train as a nurse and midwife.
After gaining both qualifications, she embarked on a long meritorious service in the health sector of the western region of Nigeria.
She progressed to become a Sister, Nursing Administrator and an Educator. She advanced the training and quality of nursing and midwifery service in her own way in the former Western Region and later Old Bendel State of Nigeria.
