Dr. Idowu joined Kaiser Permanente, Oakland in 2007. He graduated from the University of Ibadan’s School of Medicine in Ibadan, Nigeria. Dr. Idowu went on to complete his surgical residency training at Loma Linda and Affiliated Hospitals in Loma Linda, California. His subspecialty clinical fellowship in surgery followed at Children’s Hospital in Michigan. Dr. Idowu honed his skills as chief of pediatric surgery at San Joaquin General Hospital in Stockton. He joined the Oakland Children’s Hospital staff in 1991.

Dr. Idowu exudes energy, laughs heartily and at 60, has only a hint of gray in his think black hair, despite the challenge of 17 years working in Children’s Hospital’s surgery department. Two years ago, he was named chair of Oakland Children’s department of surgery.

Every since he arrived in the United States more than 30 years ago, Olajire Idowu has looked for a way to take the healthcare skills he’s honed in America back to Nigeria. In 2000 Dr. Idowu teamed with Katie Sabato, PRT to form Medical C.A.R.E. Corporation, a nonprofit dedicated to helping “children of all races everywhere,” focusing for the moment on Belize and Nigeria.

If you think you have a MEDICAL OR PSYCHIATRIC EMERGENCY, CALL 911 IMMEDIATELY or go to the nearest hospital. DO NOT attempt to access emergency care through this web site. An emergency medical condition is a medical or psychiatric condition that manifests itself by acute symptoms of sufficient severity (including severe pain) such that you could reasonably expect the absence of immediate medical attention to result in any of the following: serious jeopardy to your health, serious impairment to your bodily functions, or serious dysfunction of any bodily organ or part. An emergency medical condition is also "active labor," which means a labor when there is inadequate time for safe transfer to a Plan hospital (or designated hospital) before delivery or if a transfer poses a threat to the health of the member or unborn child.
