The Lagos State University Teaching Hospital now has a centre for advanced neonatal Studies.
A statement by LASUTH on Saturday revealed that the innovative initiative was spearheaded by its Department of Paediatrics.
The statement said the opening was done with notable support from Drager, a global leader in medical technology.
The new centre aims to position LASUTH as a leading force in neonatal healthcare training in Nigeria and the Sub-Saharan region, reinforcing the institution’s status as a pioneer in qualitative healthcare development.
The establishment of CANS brings the number of training institutions at LASUTH to six within two years.
Existing programs include the School of Anaesthetic Technology, School of Orthopaedic Cast Technology, School of Echocardiography, Caregiver Academy, and the Advanced Professional Diploma in Hospital Administration and Management.
Drager pledged to donate cutting-edge equipment and provide technical training to support LASUTH’s new neonatal programs.
LASUTH’s Chief Medical Director, Prof. Adetokunbo Fabamwo, commended the Department of Paediatrics for its commitment to excellence in neonatal care.
“The Centre for Advanced Neonatal Studies marks another milestone in LASUTH’s journey toward achieving quaternary-level care. This initiative reflects the Lagos State Government’s efforts to elevate healthcare standards”, Fabamwo said.
He also appreciated Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu’s continued support in transforming LASUTH into a centre of healthcare excellence.
