As part of the effort towards delivering quality healthcare service to the people of Lagos State and environs, the board and management of the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH), has signed a Private Public Partnership (PPP) Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Lordus Medical and Surgical Supply Company to ensure uninterrupted gas supply is readily available in the hospital.

The Chief Medical Director of LASUTH, Prof. Adetokunbo Fabamwo, expressed optimism on the positive results expected from the gas production project, noting, “We have the approval of the board of LASUTH to take this giant step as it will bring succor to the patients who are at the receiving end.”
