St. Ives celebrates year end with African royalty themed party

The world over, healthcare professionals make significant personal sacrifices for their patients, and taking time to relax and unwind is crucial for their mental health and resilience. It helps prevent burnout and ensures they can continue to provide quality care, and for Nigeria’s leading fertility and family hospital brand, St. Ives Hospital, the year 2025 is one worth celebrating, both in the area of the number of families the hospital brought smiles to their faces through conception and births and the amazing growth recorded by the hospital itself.

St. Ives Hospital’s End-of-the-Year Party, which came up on Sunday, December 14, 2025, at the Rotary Hall, GRA, Ikeja, saw staff members, management, and the invited guests all gaily attired in eye-catching African royalty outfits that lit up the venue of the soiree.

 Each branch of the hospital participated in festive presentations, including Christmas carols, drama, and spoken-word performances. The entertainment segment was filled with lively performances that kept the atmosphere energetic and celebratory.

An exciting raffle draw segment followed, where lucky attendees won gifts through randomly selected numbers, adding suspense and excitement to the celebration.

A major highlight of the event was the Awards and Recognition segment, which saw exceptional staff members honoured for their commitment, professionalism, and outstanding contributions. Employee of the Year awards were presented across both Administrative and Clinical categories. At the Ikeja branch, Rachael Inetiabor won the award for the Administrative category, while Amarachi Igwe won the Clinical category. Similarly, at the Akowonjo Branch, Happiness Chinoyerem and Ifunanya Okehie won the Administrative and Clinical categories, respectively.

Other Employee of the Year award winners at other branches included Inetiabor Rebecca, Inameti Margaret, Morgan Happiness, Eze Vivian, Jiboku Olayinka, and Abioye Omotosho.

The Best Team Player of the Year 2025 awards were also presented to Opayinka Modupe, Amaka Okafor, Oguntimehin Kehinde, Medobi Ijeoma, Anthonia Effiong, Chukwu Chinaemerem, Ogunyomi Beatrice, Ochomma Chioma, Tolu Justin, and Adeyanju Ibukunoluwa.
