The Trust, formerly known as Doctors’ Welfare Scheme (DWS), came into existence in 2011 as a result of the vision of the then Executive of the Association of Resident Doctors (ARD). Although, the idea of the Trust was originally conceived and birthed by resident doctors, today our membership cuts across all cadres of doctors in the hospital (house officers, medical officers, resident doctors and consultants).

At inception, the inaugural Exco of the Trust comprising DrsBraimah, Olajide, Omisore and Oguntola, and presided over by Dr P.O Osho was saddled with the responsibility of steering its affairs. History will continue to remember them for working assiduously to lay a solid foundation for the Trust. It is heart-warming to note that with the unwavering support and cooperation of members, successive Excos have continued to build on that foundation by consistently providing exemplary stewardship for the Trust with great sense of responsibility.Consequently, the Trust has grown from strength to strength, bringing joy to the hearts of members and positively affecting their lives.

The Trust provides members a veritable platform to achieve personal financial goals through regular savings which are deducted from source. Also, the Trust provides low interest collateral-free credit facilities to her members so that they can achieve their career and academic goals while meeting family demands with ease. Many members who have keyed into the opportunities provided by the Trust continue to testify about laudable projects, such as housing and income generating initiatives, which they have been able to commence and/or complete with funds from the Trust.

Doctors' Welfare Trust appeals to all doctors (house officers, medical officers, resident doctors and consultants) in the hospital who are yet to join the Trust to come on board in order to benefit from its numerous financial 'welfare' packages.
