No doubt, public health workers play key role in sustaining healthcare delivery, especially during crisis period such the current pandemic. They are often the first point of contact when medical emergencies arise.
Bearing this in mind, on August 24, 2020, Radisson Blu Hotel Lagos Ikeja reached out to some frontline health workers in Lagos with light breakfast to start off their day.
The gesture, according to the hotel, was in appreciation of the health workers for putting public health first before their lives.
At the event, which took place at the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital Ikeja (LASUTH), the medical team on ground showed their gratitude while receiving palliatives from the hotel.
Explaining the rationale for the kind gesture, Elizabeth Adekunte-akapo, human resource manager, Radisson Blu Hotel Lagos Ikeja, stated that, “These health workers are as important as other frontline workers in other essential industries, but they are at a higher risk, so we decided to extend our gratitude to them”.
The hotel further noted that the frontline health workers sacrificially provide services where they are most needed, especially in this pandemic.
It also commended other health workers such as community health workers, midwives, local pharmacists, nurses and doctors who serve in community clinics near people in need and helping in saving lives.
