LASUTH

[Prof. Akin Abayomi @ProfAkinAbayomi]

I had the pleasure of joining the LASUTH family for the commissioning of a new facility delivered through a public private partnership.

It was a refreshing occasion. In the midst of the daily demands of healthcare, it is good to pause, celebrate progress and recognise the people whose work keeps our health system moving forward.

The new mall is an important addition to the LASUTH environment. With an array of vendors and services that will cater to the needs of staff, patients and visitors, it will make the hospital experience more convenient and create a more vibrant environment within the institution. The vision is to gradually develop LASUTH into a one stop, all inclusive medical village where healthcare and the essential services that support patients, families and staff can be found within the same ecosystem.

I particularly want to commend the leadership and entire team at LASUTH for the remarkable work being done to transform the institution. The recent achievements in advanced surgical care, including procedures that had not previously been performed in Lagos, are a clear demonstration of what is possible when we invest in people, infrastructure, technology and the right partnerships.

Our vision is clear: Lagos must continue to build a health system where people can access high quality care that meets international standards without having to travel outside the country to receive it.

Public private partnerships are an important part of that journey. Government cannot and should not do everything alone. By bringing together public sector infrastructure and patronage with private sector investment, expertise and innovation, we create opportunities to improve services, create jobs and strengthen healthcare delivery.

LASUTH remains a critical part of this transformation, and we will continue to support its growth as a Centre of Excellence in healthcare.

And yes, I also look forward to taking up Professor Adekoya’s invitation to Okele Restaurant. After all, not every problem we solve has to be a healthcare problem.

[Prof. Akin Abayomi @ProfAkinAbayomi]

Nurses are the backbone of our health system, providing care, comfort, and continuity for patients every day. Supporting them means creating environments where they can work, lead, and thrive.

It was therefore a pleasure to commission the newly completed NANNM House at LASUTH, a project delivered through the collaboration of the Lagos State Government and the Lagos State Infrastructure Asset Management Agency (LASIAMA).

This administrative facility provides a dedicated space for the National Association of Nigeria Nurses and Midwives (NANNM) and reflects our ongoing commitment to strengthening the welfare and professional support systems available to our healthcare workforce.

As we celebrate this milestone, we also recognise the importance of sustaining it. We remain committed to ensuring the facility is properly maintained and equipped with the amenities required for its long term functionality and comfort.

Congratulations to NANNM, LASUTH, LASIAMA, and all stakeholders whose dedication made this project possible.

LASUTH CAREGIVERS ACADEMY HOLDS FOURTH COHORT GRADUATION 

The Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH) has graduated a new set of students from its Caregivers Academy during the fourth cohort graduation ceremony held on Thursday, May 21, 2026, at the MRC Auditorium, LASUTH.

A total of 98 students completed the programme. The ceremony was attended by LASUTH executives and members of the top management committee, heads of institutions, heads of departments and units, faculty members, parents, and relatives of the graduands.

The Chief Medical Director, Prof. Adetokunbo O. Fabamwo, congratulated the graduating students and commended the Head of the Academy as well as the resource persons for their dedication and commitment to imparting valuable knowledge and skills to the students.

In his address, Prof. Fabamwo reflected on the growing demand for home care services in developed countries due to their ageing populations. He noted that many Nigerians who migrated abroad to take up caregiving jobs often lacked formal training because caregiving was wrongly perceived as a menial profession that required little or no specialised knowledge. 

According to him, this informed the decision of LASUTH management to establish the Caregivers Academy to train and produce skilled caregivers equipped with professional competencies, ethical values, and knowledge of the legal implications of caregiving.

The CMD further explained that management considered the moral dilemma surrounding the training of young people who might eventually relocate abroad for employment opportunities. However, he stated that every individual has the right to maximise available opportunities globally. 

He added that LASUTH subsequently partnered with an international institution, John Academy, to enable graduands to obtain internationally recognised certification in home care services.

Prof. Fabamwo told the graduands that a new horizon had opened for them, offering opportunities for both local and international engagements. He proudly disclosed that LASUTH currently employs graduates of the academy who are willing to provide care services within the hospital. 

He encouraged the graduands to utilise the knowledge and skills acquired to improve lives and provide compassionate care to those in need. He also urged them to uphold the values of excellence for which LASUTH is known.
