Encomium, Eulogies, as UCH Ibadan celebrates Ex – CMD Alonge

The University College Hospital (UCH) Ibadan has rolled out drums to celebrate its immediate past Chief Medical Director (CMD), Professor Temitope Alonge, for his meritorious service to the institution.

Alonge, a world renowned Orthopaedic and Trauma Surgeon credited with wide ranging reforms and other initiatives in positioning the institution as the foremost tertiary hospital in West Africa, also helped the hospital to attain global recognition as a centre of excellence in the training of medical personnel, research and the delivery of special health care services.

One of these projects is the N200 million In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) Centre, the biggest in Nigeria, which was commissioned on Thursday, 14 February.

A senior member of staff, Dr. W.
