He commended Gov. Babajide Sanwoolu for giving the hospital the necessary tools to ensure an efficient service delivery in the health sector.

“I appeal to our doctors and nurses to be patient; things will get better very soon; the president (Bola Tinubu) has promised to revamp the health sector,” he said.

Speaking at the occasion, the Medical Director of the hospital, Dr Taiwo Hassan, called for declaration of state of emergency on health professionals, as part of measures to address the challenges bedevelling the health sector.

Hassan also advised government to put in place measures that would discourage health professionals from migrating to other countries.

He said that the hospital had been consistently providing timely and good quality services for citizens of Ikorodu since its established 40 years ago.

Hassan noted that the general hospital had won numerous awards, both locally and internationally due to its efficient service delivery.

“We have advised that Ikorodu general hospital and other major hospitals should be upgraded to teaching hospitals.

“When we have teaching hospitals, the rate of producing doctors will increase and they will be more than enough to render their services.

“Consequently, they will have no option than to stay back and bring their experience to bear on the system,” Hassan said. (NAN
