– Upgrades Five Health Centres to General Hospitals
In line with the T.H.E.M.E’s Agenda of the present administration and fulfilling the promise of qualitative healthcare delivery to the residents of Lagos State, Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has approved the recruitment of clinical staff to fill the existing vacancies in the 27 secondary healthcare facilities in the State.
The recruitment, which is aimed at reducing brain drain, is also to ensure that residents get optimal healthcare services whenever they visit any of the government hospitals for medical treatment.
A release signed by the Permanent Secretary, Health Service Commission, Dr Ademuyiwa Benjamin Eniayewun, said that “Vacancies to be filled include posts for consultants, registrars, medical and dental officers, health records officers, pharmacists, nurses, medical laboratory scientists and physiotherapists.
“Others are radiographers, optometrists, dental therapists and technologists, medical laboratory and dental technicians as well as house officers and interns.”
Eniayewun stated further that all applicants are expected to apply online, from Monday, 16 August to Saturday, 4 September, 2021, through the Commission’s portal at http://www.lshscrecruitment.com.ng, adding that only shortlisted candidates will, however, be contacted for the computer-based test and interview.
Similarly, the Permanent Secretary also revealed that Mr Governor has approved the upgrade of five comprehensive hospital centres in the state to general hospitals.
According to him, the affected hospital centres are those in Onikan, Harvey Road, Ebute-Metta, Ijede and Ketu-Ejirin.
