In a bid to complement government’s effort to make healthcare more accessible to the general public the Lion’s Club District 404B2 in partnership with Miracle Heart Foundation visited the Management of LASUTH to donate their quota in the Peadiatric department on Wednesday, 5th of January, 2021.
The Chief Medical Director, Professor Adetokunbo O. Fabamwo, in his address, appreciated the Club for their contributions over the years as he noted that the Lions Club has been in partnership with the hospital for a long time. He mentioned that the Club has made donations of buildings which houses the Diabetes Clinic, Oncology Unit and support with the hospital’s annex in Gbagada.
The CMD said that the hospital is at a stage of the development that requires a lot of partnerships because the government alone cannot do everything; therefore, collaborations are welcomed at this time.
