Faith Home Maternity

A Legacy of Compassionate Care Since 1986

The Faith Home was established on the 23rd of June 1986 under the leadership of Mrs. D. O. Alao as its first Midwife. The programme was flagged off with five pregnant women in attendance, and the first service was conducted by Mrs. D. O. Alao and Late Pastor Odunola.

Since then, the Faith Home has been guided by a succession of dedicated midwives, gained official endorsement from the Lagos State Government through HEFAMAA in 2017, and was registered with the Corporate Affairs Commission in 2022 as Mount of Salvation Maternity Home.

Four Decades, Four Head Midwives

The Faith Home was established on the 23rd of June 1986 under the leadership of Mrs. D. O. Alao as its first Midwife. The programme was flagged off with five pregnant women in attendance, and the first service was conducted by Mrs. D. O. Alao and Late Pastor Odunola. The first midwife worked from June 1986 to 14th May 2001, before retiring from service due to her family's relocation to Ibafo, Ogun State.

The second midwife, Deaconess C. O. Mellor, took over responsibilities from 14th May 2001 to December 2011. During her tenure, the Church employed two midwives, Mrs. M. A. Osadare and Mrs. E. O. Olupitan, who were later transferred in 2007 to another station. Mrs. H. Okejimi and Miss Adeseko were brought in as their replacements.

Following the retirement of Deaconess C. O. Mellor in December 2011, leadership of the Faith Home Clinic was handed over to Mrs. R. F. Ibrahim as the third Head Midwife. Her journey spanned January 2012 to February 2017, working alongside Mrs. Funmilayo Olawumi and Mrs. Beatrice Oluwafunke Adewale. Both were subsequently transferred, and the Church employed Mrs. Grace Ademakinwa, Mrs. Esther Ashiru, and Mrs. Mary Akintoyemu as their replacements.

Mrs. Olupitan became the fourth Head Midwife following her transfer from Owutu District, serving in an acting capacity from March to May 2017 before assuming the substantive position from 1st June till date. Mrs. Mary Akintoyemu and Mrs. O. T. Michael have also worked alongside her.

In July 2017, officials of the Health Facilities Monitoring and Accreditation Agency (HEFAMAA), an arm of the Lagos State Healthcare authorities based in Alausa, paid an official visit to the Faith Home. Following inspection and discussion with Church leadership, they recommended the employment of a Registered Nurse (RN). Mrs. E. O. Adeyemi (RN) was employed as Operation Officer from 1st September 2017 till date, and the Faith Home is now a full maternity home in compliance with State Government directives.

The Faith Home has also been registered under the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) on 12th October 2022, under the new registered name Mount of Salvation Maternity Home.
