A multinational conglomerate, SIFAX Group, has donated some work tools to the Apapa General Hospital in Lagos State, for improved health care services.
Mr Olumuyiwa Akande, Group Head, Corporate Communications, SIFAX Group, disclosed this in a statement in Lagos on Friday.
Akande said the items included five laptops, six desktop computers and 18 wall fans.
He said the donation of the items was in furtherance of the company’s philosophy of supporting critical government institutions.
“SIFAX Group believes that without good health, it will be difficult for Nigerians to be productive and make giant strides in their different endeavours.
“Our public health institutions are important in delivering this health care and that is the reason we decided to support the Apapa General Hospital to improve the quality of the hospital’s service.
“It is also part of our philosophy to give back to society as we know that government cannot single- handedly meet all the needs of the society.
`”Corporate organisations and public-spirited individuals have critical roles to play in this regard,” Akande said.
Akande quoted Dr Ajibola Keshinro, Chief Medical Director, Apapa General Hospital, as appreciating SIFAX Group for the kind gesture.
Keshinro said that the items would upscale the hospital’s capacity to respond well to its responsibilities.
“We are deeply grateful to SIFAX Group for the items donated. It is our wish that other organisations will take a cue and support the good work we are doing at Apapa General Hospital.
“The computers will especially help our e-health project, an initiative of the Lagos State government, designed to digitalise our operations,” Akande quoted Keshinro as saying.
