Nigerian businesswoman Folorunso Alakija has built and donated a N34 billion medical research and training hospital to Osun State University.
The facility, named the Modupe and Folorunso Alakija Medical Research and Training Hospital, was commissioned on Tuesday by former Vice President Yemi Osinbajo.
The hospital has a capacity of 250 admission beds and comprises 20 clinical departments and five non-clinical departments. It also includes a community health unit, maternity and neonatal care services, research and diagnostic laboratories, and four state-of-the-art operating theatres.
Other facilities include cutting-edge diagnostic imaging equipment such as CT scan, MRI, ultrasound, and X-ray machines, radiotherapy suites, 16 intensive care units (ICUs), an ophthalmology unit, and several other modern healthcare facilities.
The medical complex is designed to support advanced healthcare delivery, medical training, and research, and is expected to significantly strengthen healthcare services and medical education in Osun State and its environs.
