IKEJA – The Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH), Ikeja, has received the International Quality Crown Award in London for her contributions to the health sector.
The Chief Medical Director of LASUTH, Dr Wale Oke, made the disclosure in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Friday in Ikeja, Lagos State.
He spoke on the sideline of the 19th LASUTH Nurses Annual Conference.
Oke said the hospital bagged the award at the annual International Quality Crown Convention that took place on Nov. 23 and 24 in London.
According to him, the award is given by a group called the BID Group One, an international organisation dedicated to performance quality, innovation and excellence.
He said: “BID is an international organisation that goes all over the place to look at private companies, organisations and hospitals. I think health was recently added.
“Fifty-eight countries were inspected and 80 institutions were awarded.
“They have specific criteria which border on quality and service delivery to the patients. They have a group that goes around accessing each institution.
“LASUTH is the only hospital in Lagos, in Nigeria that won the award for immeasurable contribution to the business world, for high standing and professionalism demonstrated by prestigious performance for excellence and innovation in the gold category.
“We now have a benchmark for our service delivery, performance and what we need to do more.
“We will build upon this and continue to discharge our duties professionally and efficiently to the best of our ability in the pursuit of excellence in the health sector,’’ he said. (NAN)
