As part of activities marking its 10th anniversary, De Pinnacle International Social Club embarked on a medical outreach at the Federal Medical Centre (FMC), Umuahia, Abia State, and the Federal Teaching Hospital, Owerri, Imo State, reaffirming the organisation’s commitments to community service and humanitarian intervention.
During the outreach, members of the social club visited various wards in both medical facilities, where they paid medical bills of patients, offered support, and shared moments of encouragement with people with various health challenges.
Among the members who participated in the visits were the Chairman, Board of Trustees, Chief Christopher Ndubuisi; President, Chief David Nwosu; Exchequer, Amb. Elijah Onyeagba; Chief Emmanuel Ndubuisi; Chief Chuka Igwe; Chief Zota Obi; Chief Richard Oleh; Chief Innocent Emeh; Chief Frank Aminu; and Chief Ugochukwu Igbo.
The BOT Chairman, Chief Christopher Ndubuisi, said the initiative formed part of activities marking a decade of the organisation’s existence. He noted that De Pinnacle International Social Club was founded on the principles of brotherhood, humanitarian service, and the belief that its responsibilities extend beyond social gatherings and club activities.
“Our core mission lies in uplifting communities and driving meaningful social change. Reaching a 10-year milestone is a testament to resilience, unity, and purpose. We chose to celebrate this decade not with fanfare alone, but by giving back directly to those in urgent need within our health institutions.”

At both hospitals, members moved through different wards, engaging with patients and listening to their experiences. The interactions provided an opportunity for the club to connect with people facing difficult circumstances, while offering practical and emotional support.
Members noted that the experience served as a reminder of the values upon which De Pinnacle International was founded. They imagined that the patients they encountered in the hospitals could easily have been their own parents, relatives, friends or neighbours.
Hospital administrators and medical directors in both Umuahia and Owerri expressed gratitude for the intervention, noting that the relief packages and bill settlements significantly eased the burden on both the healthcare facilities and the beneficiaries. Patients and their families also voiced heartfelt appreciation for the timely support amidst challenging economic conditions.
For the club, the 10th anniversary was, therefore, not merely an occasion to celebrate its achievements over the past decade, but also an opportunity to reflect on its journey and renew its commitment to giving back to society.
The humanitarian outreach to FMC Umuahia and the Federal Teaching Hospital, Owerri, formed part of the club’s broader anniversary activities aimed at placing service to humanity at the centre of its celebration.
Ten years after its establishment, De Pinnacle International continues to position humanitarian service as an important part of its identity, with members describing the anniversary outreach as a reflection of the club’s enduring philosophy of brotherhood, compassion and action.
Moving into its second decade, the organisation reiterated its commitment to expanding its humanitarian footprint, advocating social welfare, and implementing sustainable community outreach initiatives across the region.
