Dr Victoria Orji is the Executive Director. Between 2018 and 2023, VBI had been involved in medical outreaches with donations from a few friends and self sponsorship. However, Covid-19 lockdown in 2020 did not allow the organisation to make much progress. The vision of the organisation is to provide funding for infrastructure, equipment, research and training to the fore most premier family - focused private Hospital in South West Nigeria. Our Mission is as stated, as well as social advocacy and impact services.
Our gratitude to partners, Board members and team @ SVSH, Ife who deliver culturally responsive, competent care and services to the communities. Healthcare, Education, Climate resilience, Livelihood, Gender & Equity are fundamental to our mission. VBI is a women-led entity, hence diverted donations are still being expected back to our registered UEI Address.

I work for St Victoria Specialists Hospital from inception.
My official title is Matron, as well as Director My responsibilities are Nursing administration, supervision of subordinates as well as social advocacy and impact services.
In 2018, I coordinated a project on the Sociocultural factors affecting the utilisation of Antenatal Clinic amongst Teenage mothers in our community. It was a good success.
Currently, the project needs to be expanded to accommodate more Teenage mothers. This is Maternal and Child Health research. I am also looking for partnership / sponsorship for research studies on Health Promotion and Cancer. Victoria Beacons Initiative was created in 2018, having completed a PhD degree and in order to fulfil the long time desire of engaging in research and reaching out to my community. So far, we have been able to make progress. Follow us on LinkedIn for updates.
Despite the challenging operating environment, we have focused on responding in our community to enable them stay healthy post pandemic. We are committed to our mission & vision statement. We also enabled welfare packages for some of the less - privileged women in our community. We are looking forward to the recovery of all our diverted medical equipment meant for St Victoria Specialists Hospital, Ife. Now the urgency for the focus in 2022 on Health, gender issues and human rights takes significance given the women/girls population and the vulnerability they face.
