The Obafemi Awolowo University Teaching Hospital, Ile-Ife in Osun State, has received two incubators from the United Bank for Africa.
The regional head of UBA, Mr. Babajide Bewaji, while making the donation on Tuesday, said it was part of the bank’s efforts to positively impact the society.
He said the donation would aid the hospital’s operation in the delivery of quality services.
Bewaji said, “We are donating the incubators to the hospital as a way to give back to the society, being a responsible and responsive bank. We also understand that the challenges of the hospitals are enormous and government alone cannot take care of them, so we want to bridge the gap.
“If you go to hospitals, you will see influx of people queuing just because the facilities are not enough and this is one of the reasons we are coming in. We also affect other sectors of the economy directly and positively.”
While receiving the donations, the Chief Medical Director of OAUTH, Prof. Victor Adetiloye, commended the bank and assured that the incubators would be properly maintained.
He noted that the incubator would solve one of the numerous challenges of the hospital in terms of facilities.
He also disclosed that the hospital needed elevator, new physical structures, X-ray machines, endoscopy machine and radiotherapy centre.
He said one of the incubators would be kept in Ile-Ife, while the second would be installed in the Ilesa complex.
He urged banks and other corporate organisations to support the hospital’s growth, saying, “We need to grow and private institutions need to assist.”
