Ifeoma Orifa: Proving Her Mettle in Nigeria’s Health Sector

Some people are born with a determination to have kings, and queens do their bidding. Others are more sensitive to the petitions of life, recognising the need to serve others irrespective of their social status. For Ifeoma Orifa, the latter is true. In her Accentcare, she has found her purpose and is a blessing to the elderly.

When it comes to the health conditions of the elderly, Orifa is leading the pack. Realising the importance of looking out for every demographic, the peak of her aspirations is to have hope resonating in the hearts of Nigerians when they think about the healthcare sector. This is why she has focused on the elderly and on delivering safe and affordable healthcare services.

According to Orifa, there is a conspicuous gap in Nigeria’s healthcare industry, one related to follow-up care services. With the absence of this critical factor in the country’s healthcare system, the disadvantage is clear for Nigerians relative to countries where the gap has been closed.

This is the rationale behind her work at Accentcare. As the MD, Orifa is tasked with ensuring that Nigerians can access professional caregivers at home. These caregivers can help with personal care for adults and infants, reducing the strain on both relatives and the overburdened public healthcare system.

Another significant aspect of Orifa’s work at Accentcare has to do with the training of personnel for the intended services. With this training, Nigerians can gain access to compassionate and personalised care, no longer bound by the inexactness of community health and other forms of indiscriminate and generalized care.

Orifa’s dedicated focus on the well-being of the elderly is commendable, indicating that she is doing an amazing job. With her unwavering diligence, it is only a matter of time before there is a noticeable improvement in the health conditions of those under her responsibility. Indeed, her commitment and efforts hold promise for positive outcomes and enhanced well-being among the elderly.
