Babatunde Okewale Set to Unveil a New State-of-the-Art Hospital in Lagos

-

There are many profession­s in this world, but few can claim to be as nobly placed as the medical profession. With considerat­e individual­s like Babatunde Okewale at the helm of affairs in the profession, great hope continues to swell across the nation, giving rise to more and lasting expectatio­ns of good things.

Lagos State is the latest to benefit from the wave of medical generosity coming from Okewale’s quarters. Taking the form of a stateof-the-art hospital, Lagosians will be able to benefit from the deliverabl­es of the obstetrici­an and gynaecolog­ist. The services may not be free, but they are set to free patients from the host of maladies prevailing against them before the hospital’s arrival.

Based on recent reports, the medical complex is named St. Ives Akowonjo and is a 40 inpatient-bed facility. Situated in Akowonjo, as its name implies, it is Okewale’s recent project and will be a sanctuary for the ill and ailing once it officially opens on February 26, 2024.

It has been a while since something this good caught up on the airwaves. Perhaps, when Okewale’s first hospital, St Ives Specialist Hospital was opened, it was not accompanie­d by these many cheers. But several years have gone past during which Okewale has worked many wonders, including helping seemingly infertile women deliver healthy babies.

Presently, Okewale has awakened a reputation among Nigerians and outsiders that his peers have not matched up to. It is the reputation of a caring doctor, one who is more interested in the lives and families of his patients than he is in their money. This would also explain why he would situate the new hospital at Akowonjo.With Okewale’s new hospital, a new day has come for the health landscape in Lagos.
