The Chief Medical Director, Lagos University Teaching Hospital, Prof. Chris Bode recently got the nod of President Muhammadu Buhari for a second term as chief executive of Nigeria’s busiest tertiary health facility. He spoke with journalists including Martins Ifijeh on his experience in the past four years and his determination to improve the lot of the 57-year old institutionWhen I came on board four years ago, the system was suffering.
The entire workforce, all are eager to reflect the new order. The changes are manifest. For instance, our dental school that was discredited last year because we didn’t have dented chairs has now been re-certified. Through joint effort between the university, alumni and management, we have been able to put LUTH back on the path to its former glory. Good things are happening, that’s my message and we must do more. The greatest enemy of progress is to be complacent, there is no resting here.
Recently, we had the Lions Club International come for laying of the blocks for the establishment of dialysis centre. We are appealing to all like-minded bodies to assist LUTH. Late Chief Isaac Olusola Dada, who was the district governor of the club, promised to build a renal dialysis centre for us before he passed away suddenly. It is going to cost more than N200 million. It will have 36 dialysis machines and will be one of the largest in the country for modern renal dialysis.
