OKIKIOLA THE FRIENDLY NEIGHBORHOOD DOCTOR


"Hi, I am Okikiola the friendly neighborhood doctor. I am passionate about Primary Health Care. I take health care to under-served rural communities and I watch their faces light up"

Okikiola Oladele has about five years experience in community engagement via volunteering work in issues pertaining to Maternal and child health, Adolescent sexual and reproductive health. He currently volunteers at The Corinth's Foundation where he heads the medical team on rural medical outreaches.

He is a team member and contributor on Kusema Africa, one of the divisions of the White Code Centre (www.whitecodecentre.org), a youth driven and youth-centric platform which is registered in South Africa and works across Africa on issues of human rights, social justice, youth empowerment, good governance and the Africa project to raise the global image of Africa and generate discussions about African issues.

Okikiola is motivated by his desire to see an improved healthcare delivery particularly to under-privileged members of the society by improving the standard of primary health care to rural communities. Okikiola believes Africa can rise above the myriads of poverty, hunger, diseases and internecine wars that seem to be the single story of Africa that dominates the global scene.
Upon completion of the Fellowship, Okikiola hopes to use the knowledge gained to connect with policy makers to drive an improved, sustainable Primary Health care delivery program in rural communities and reducing maternal mortality. 

Okikiola loves Music, Travel, Photography and Sports. He thinks he is a great swimmer and can win Olympic Gold for Nigeria one day. He documents his travels (when he is not too lazy tired to blog) on www.ajalatalesblog.wordpress.com

Okikiola Currently lives in Ilorin, Nigeria.

I am popularly known as Father Makoko or The Makoko king, basically for my role in creating and designing the First 'School Bus' on water in Africa, which is a customised canoe for taking the children of Makoko Dream School, a tuition-free primary school, to and from school free of charge.
