The General Hospital, Isolo, Lagos has held its first ever Ileya Get-together.
The hospital Medical Director/Chief Executive Officer, Dr Soliu Olugbenga Oseni, who stated that it was inspired by the impact at Somolu General Hospital where he first introduced it, said it was his way of celebrating his members of staff and making them feel appreciated.
“When I did it at Somolu General Hospital, I saw how happy the members of staff were. It may look like a religious event but most of the organisers are Christians. It’s a way of bringing the staff together to bond and enjoy and appreciate the effort they have put into the system.”
Commenting on his experience since arriving at the hospital, Oseni said, “I’ve only been here nine months, but we’ve been able to change staff mindset, improve on the IGR and improve staff-patient satisfaction. Also, we now have a psychiatric unit where we admit psychiatric patients. We are the only Lagos State general hospital that offers that service. We also have new services like dermatology. We’re actually looking at making this place a tertiary institution.”
