He pointed out that with support such as the Livestock Feeds’ CSR, there would be solutions to some of the country’s healthcare challenges, such as infant morbidity and mortality; thus, leading to improved quality of life generally.
Adedeji said CSR should be designed to bridge gaps in socio-economic needs by the conscientious and deliberate movement of surplus resources to needed areas, as the equipment and instrument donation was another major corporate social responsibility (CSR) a commitment from Livestock Feeds.
‘Sola Pitan, chief medical director, Orile-Agege General Hospital (OAGH), who conducted the Livestock Feeds team on a facility tour of the hospital, said the hospital has seen several remarkable improvements in recent years, which has improved the quality of healthcare delivery.
According to him, over the past two years, several critical areas have been improved, which enabled the hospital to handle the large number of patients patronising the hospital.
He, however, sought assistance in other areas such as the accident and emergency unit and theatre that needed to be upgraded in order to further strengthen healthcare operations at OAGH.
