It was not just a birthday—it was a tribute to a lifetime of healing, mentorship, and undeniable impact.

The medical community in Edo State came alive on Saturday, May 25th, as the Nigerian Medical Association (NMA), Edo State Branch, rolled out an emotional and deeply moving birthday message to one of its finest pillars, Dr. E.V.E. Okpaise (MBBS, MWACP).

In a message that has since gone viral across medical circles, the NMA didn’t just celebrate an age — they celebrated a legacy. Dr. Okpaise, who currently serves as Head of Family Medicine Unit at Merri Ehanire Mother and Child Hospital, and Chief Medical Officer at Christway Medical Centre, was described in glowing terms that reflect decades of service, mentorship, and leadership in the field of Family Medicine.

Signed by the association’s PRO, Dr. Duke Onoriode Udhekru, the birthday message highlighted Dr. Okpaise’s trailblazing journey through the halls of medicine — from his days at Maz-Qil Medical Centre to his current leadership of Marshall Medics International.

“We are wishing you long life and prosperity in good health. We love you,” the NMA’s message read — a simple but powerful expression of gratitude to a man whose hands have comforted thousands and whose wisdom has shaped generations of doctors.

Colleagues have since described Dr. Okpaise as “a rare gift to humanity, a mentor without borders, and a symbol of what is noble in medicine.”

In a time when excellence is often whispered, the NMA chose to shout their love from the rooftops — and rightfully so.

Happy Birthday, Dr. Okpaise — your name is etched not just in certificates, but in the hearts of the lives you’ve touched.
