An interview with Dr Olufemi Olowookere, PRIME Nigeria Lead.

PRIME has been active in Nigeria for nearly two decades. There is an expanding group of Nigerian PRIME Tutors who for many years have been delivering Whole Person Care, Compassion and Training the Trainers programmes in at least 11 Teaching Hospitals and 3 Colleges of Medicine  across the whole country under the auspices of the Christian Medical Dental Association (CMDA) Nigeria. The team now undertake their own PRIME Tutor Training.

The team are also now undertaking Whole Person Care training for the 6,000 members of staff at University College Hospital, Ibadan.

Quote These are things that are not taught in medical school, and we have been able to positively impact doctors and students alike.
