The New, Black American, Nigerian Chief and His Beautiful Wife Demetria
Los Angeles' Dr. Leroy Vaughn, MD, MBA, Author & Historian during his annual medical mission to Africa, was honored with the title of Chief for his dynamic healing work in Nigeria.
Dr. Vaughn of the Eye Care for Diabetics Medical Group Inc., 323 N Prairie, Suite 217, Inglewood, CA, a surgeon of eye diseases, cataract and laser, recently returned from Africa, where he treated thousands. As a member of the ASA-USA Medical Mission team, the group went to Abuja, Nigeria.
During his work there, Dr. Vaughn was honored with the title of Chief for his healing work for thousands of Nigerian citizens. The team carried medications and 33 boxes of medications and supplies were ordered from Europe. Customs held the boxes requesting duties of about $2,000. Gov. Peter Obi interceded and the medications were released so the team could use them for the people of Africa.
The General Hospital Awka, was the first site for the team to work. The local student and nurse volunteers assisted under the supervision of the USA trained nurses and pharmacists.
Along with Dr. Vaughn, Dr. Nnaemaka Udo, a general surgeon, and other medical providers performed free services which included cataract surgery, glaucoma and other related diseases to thousands of people at Awka.
In Enugwu-Ukwu, the team found another crowd from the Njikoka area. The Enugwu-Ukwu General Hospital had a newly improved and equipped surgical theater, which turned out to be the best. The power generator provided light and there was running water. Last year, when the medical team was there none of these were available and surgery was done by flashlight.
The team also met crowds in Onitsha, many coming from surrounding towns. The same in Nnewi, where Dr. Vaughn had to scramble and fight for space to perform surgery.
In Ekwulobia, the facilities were different from last year. Thousands came and were given free medical treatments. Dr. Vaughn was not comfortable performing surgeries there due to the broken table that was being supported on the ground. Instead, he evaluated and treated hundreds of people with eye problems, and the ones needing glasses to see, received them. Thousands received medications that were prepared by the nurses and pharmacists in bags for distributions.
As the team prepared to leave Ekwulobia, Dr. Vaughn received an invitation from Igwe Mbaukwu to come to his palace. He was conferred a chieftaincy title of Omeluora in the presence of the cabinet members, the medical team and his beautiful wife, Demetria.
The medical mission continued in Ozubulu. Again, thousands received medical treatment and medications. The team ended their mission in Anambra State, treating thousands and giving them medications. Chief George O. Ilouno (Olili) was the chair and coordinator of the team.
Chief Dr. Leroy Vaughn, MD, MBA, Historian is the author of a dynamic Black history book. Dr. Vaughn's free preview link of his book is posted: BLACK PEOPLE AND THEIR PLACE IN WORLD HISTORY. Dr. Vaughn's hard copies and ebook are available at: http://www.computerhealth.org/ .
