“As soldiers who defend and protect the populace at war need armunitions to succeeded, so do doctors who protect citizens against illness and diseases need equipment to work with,” she stressed. At the launching of the centre, which brought together top women in the country, Osibajo affirmed that establishing the facility demonstrates Reddington Hospital’s readiness to promote women’s health.
The Chief Executive Officer of Reddington Hospital, Dr. Adeyemi Onabowale said women’s health was not being addressed in the country in line with internationally acceptable standards, hence, the need to build the facility, adding that The Breast & Gynae Centre, is a one-stop centre to tackle health challenges of women.
