As part of his ongoing assessment of general hospitals across the state, the Chairman of the Oyo State Hospitals Management Board (OYSHMB), Hon. Adekunle Bankole, Esq., on Friday embarked on a familiarisation visit to three healthcare facilities within the Oyo State Secretariat Complex in Ibadan.
The facilities visited include the Staff Clinic, House of Assembly Clinic and Government House Clinic.
The inspection is aimed at evaluating the operational efficiency of the clinics, assessing their infrastructure and equipment, and ensuring they meet required standards for effective service delivery to civil servants and government officials.
It is also intended to identify challenges confronting the facilities and proffer immediate solutions that will enhance quality healthcare within the Secretariat.
During the visit, Hon. Bankole expressed satisfaction with the dedication of healthcare personnel, particularly their commitment to duty and presence at their respective posts.
He commended the staff for keeping the facilities neat and tidy and for maintaining clean and orderly environments across the three clinics.
He urged them to sustain their professionalism, diligence and commitment to quality healthcare delivery and to continue to support the good work of the present administration under the leadership of His Excellency, Engr. Oluseyi Makinde, FNSE.
The Chairman was accompanied by the Director of Medical Services, Dr. Olufemi Adesanya; Director of Administration and Supplies, Mr. Timothy Adebayo; Director of Finance and Accounts, Mr. John Olawoyin; and Director of Nursing Services (Clinical), Mrs. Bolaji-Eyitayo Ayoola.
The visit forms part of Bankole’s familiarisation exercise to assess operational standards, engage healthcare personnel and strengthen service delivery across facilities under the Board.
Bankole said the exercise would be extended to other hospitals and health centres across the state to ensure uniformity in standards and improved patient experience.
He noted that the Board under his leadership would prioritise staff welfare, infrastructure upgrade and efficient service delivery in line with the present administration’s health agenda.
He also assured health workers of the Board’s readiness to address operational challenges and strengthen collaboration for effective healthcare delivery.
It should be recalled that the Chairman visited general hospitals in Ogbomoso zone last week, in furtherance of his inspection tour across the state.
