At the meeting of the Health Care Workers, All Souls’ Chapel held on Sunday 13th of January, 2019 to deliberate on medical missions and health services, it was acknowledged that the existing Health Team in the Chapel needed repositioning to meet the health challenges of the congregation while collaborating in medical mission. The previous effort of the team coordinators; Prof. O.B. Fasubaa and Mrs. T. I. Amire who served as the Chairman and Deputy Chairperson respectively were appreciated. Thereafter, a committee of 5 members was set up to deliberate on repositioning the health team for optimum health service delivery within the Chapel. Members of the committee were; Dr. O. Ogunlade (Convener), Mrs. T. I. Amire, Mrs. A.O. Adeloye, Prof. O.O. Orafidiya and Dr. O.A. Talabi. The committee eventually prepared a report which was adopted the Health Care Workers at another meeting. The report was subsequently submitted to the Chapel Council ably led by Prof. Grace Onawumi. The Chapel Council ratified the report and set up a committee known as Chapel Health Care Committee (CHCC) as a Service Unit to coordinate the Chapel Health Services with effect from May 26, 2019.
