The Department of Medicine, Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH), Ikeja, has donated scrubs to doctors of all cadres to ensure compliance with the guidelines of Infection Prevention Control on safe healthcare practices.

Dr Adebowale Adekoya, Head of the Medicine Department, said on Friday in Lagos that the donation was to support the hospital’s efforts to curb the COVID-19 pandemic.

Adekoya, in a statement by Mrs Oluwaseyi Adewale, Head, Public Affairs Department, LASUTH, said there was the need to ensure that hospital protocols were strictly observed.

“Plans for the provision of these scrubs had been in the pipeline, even before the pandemic, and we are glad that it has become a reality.

“I recognise the efforts of the immediate past Head of Department, Dr Jumoke Oshinaike, who set the ball rolling before I took over the helms of affairs,” he said.
