The Rotary Club of Maryland, led by President Victor Anosike, has commissioned a newly reconstructed medical waste management project at the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital.
This was disclosed in a statement on Saturday, adding that the project was undertaken in response to an assessment conducted by the club a few months ago.
According to the statement, the facility, which has been expanded and upgraded, will now provide adequate capacity to accommodate medical waste, ensuring a safer and more hygienic environment for patients, staff, and the community.
District Governor, District 9110, Ifeyinwa Ejezie, expressed gratitude to the Rotary Club of Maryland for their generosity and emphasised the importance of proper medical waste management in ensuring public health safety.
She said the project demonstrates the power of community collaboration and the impact of humanitarian organisations like the Rotary Club in improving healthcare infrastructure and promoting public health safety.
In his appreciation speech, the Chief Medical Director of LASUTH, Prof Adetokunbo Fabamwo, thanked the Rotary Club for their invaluable contribution to the hospital’s infrastructure, praising the swift completion of the project.
