The District Governor of Rotary International District 9110, IfeyinwaEjezie, has charged management of Lagos Island Maternity Hospital to sustain the maintenance of items donated by the organisation to the hospital.

Ejezie gave the charge when she unveiled 25 new baby cots donated by the Rotary Club of Falomo to the hospital.

She said the gesture was part of the club’s 2023 maternal and child health projects, saying that a similar donation of 25 baby cots was presented to the hospital in 2022.

The District Governor, who commended Rotary Club of Falomo for providing a solution to one of the needs of the maternity hospital, said sustainability could spur the club to do more.

Also, the immediate Past President of the club, TolulopeOgundipe, said the project started in 2022.

In his response, Medical Director of the maternity, Dr. Olufemi Omololu, said: “We want to sincerely thank you for this gesture. It has given us a lot of relief, and we promise to put the cots to good use and ensure they are kept in the best condition always.”
