Dr Babatunde Okewale’s Leading by a Mile

The old Hasidic adage has it that “the virtue of angels is that they cannot deteriorate; their flaw is that they cannot improve. Man’s flaw is that he can deteriorate, and his virtue is that he can improve.” In his work and service to humanity, one would be right to mention that Dr Babatunde Okewale continues to improve and shows no sign of deteriorating or slowing down. A few months ago, it was a book with golden words; not it is something else—but something just as golden.

Dr Babatunde Okewale has started a new trend on his Women FM (WFM 91.7), which promises to address health problems live and for free. RadioDoctor is exactly what it reads like—a doctor on the radio waiting to advise people on how best to maintain their health and avoid unnecessary knots that force them onto hospital beds or life medication.

Okewale has also gotten several other credible doctors to share their knowledge on RadioDoctor. This means that different kinds of doctors, obstetricians, and gynaecologists like Dr Okewale, paediatricians, psychiatrists, you name it. Essentially, following RadioDoctor is similar to having a room full of doctors waiting to advise you.

According to the schedule, RadioDoctor will be on WFM 91.7 every day of the week (except Sunday) from 10 am to 11 am. Mondays are for children’s health with expert paediatricians; Tuesdays are for women’s health; Wednesdays are for general health; Thursdays are for elderly/mental health; Fridays are for general/mental health; Saturdays are for teenage health.

Dr Okewale has also announced that doctors with specialities in these areas are welcome to the board. This just goes to show how rich a free health CSR consultation radio programme RadioDoctor is. This, it seems, is the next step for Dr Babatunde Okewale. After more than two decades on women’s health and infertility, the good doctor extends his expertise, experience and influence to children, the elderly and the mentally challenged. A man committed to all is a man worth admiring. And that is Dr Babatunde Okewale.
