In his remarks, the team leader and Permanent Secretary, Lagos State Health Service Commission, Dr. Ademuyiwa Benjamin Eniayewun implored the Medical Director/CEO of Randle General Hospital (RGH), Dr. Olumide Sojirin and his Management team, not to relent in their efforts as more is still expected to be done for further improvement in health delivery.
He charged the management to be futuristic in their thinking towards achieving improved, well-developed and seamless functioning hospitals backed by enhanced welfare packages for staff to improve their dedication and commitment to rendering quality service to all patients.
The Permanent Secretary, who was visibly elated and happy at the progress the hospital has achieved under the Medical Director, called for the promotion of a conducive atmosphere and effective cooperation among all categories of staff so that treatment and caregiving will be so appealing that residents would see the government hospital as “A Place of First Choice”.
Explaining the reason for the visit, the Chairman of HTSI, Dr. Yinka Otepola, said that the transformational drive which started three years ago by HSC is becoming part of every hospital administration which is aimed at supporting their successful journey towards attaining excellent service delivery.
