However, he noted that the facilities in the hospital were not sufficient to cater for the growing medical needs of the people of Ota, he therefore, called on ‘Godly- spirited’ individuals to help in improving the facilities on ground.
He added that the hospital needed to expand its anti-natal, post-natal and children’s ward and also build a new Neo-natal unit as the existing ones were no more suitable for adequate operations.
A patient, Ogundare Modinat who spoke with VOA news correspondent, lauded the effort of the Queen. She however, called on the government and philanthropists to help sick patients offset their medical bills to enable them to leave the hospital after concluding their treatments.
Halimat Obalalenge, another patient, who claimed to have been bedridden for 6 months, was full of praises for the Olota of Ota, HRM. Prof. Abdulkabir Adeyemi Obalalenge, for the kind gestures shown to the hospital since he has been enthroned.
