The Lagos State Government has commended Brown’s Table, a non-governmental organisation, for donating cardiac monitors to Primary Healthcare Centres (PHCs) across parts of the state.
Eko Hot News reports that the equipment donation covers PHCs in Ibeju-Lekki, Eti-Osa, Epe and Onigbongbo Local Government Areas and Local Council Development Areas.
The presentation was held at VIBE Dining and Lounge on Akin Olugbade Street, Victoria Island, where health officials and representatives of the organisation highlighted the importance of the intervention.
Speaking at the event, the Permanent Secretary, Health District III, Dr. Monsurat Adeleke, described the donation as timely support for grassroots healthcare delivery.
Adeleke said the intervention aligns with the Lagos State Government’s commitment to strengthening Public-Private Partnerships in the health sector.
She noted that government alone cannot address every healthcare need across the state.
The Permanent Secretary therefore called on organisations, social groups and other stakeholders to support government efforts to improve healthcare services.
According to her, contributions from private organisations can complement existing government investments in healthcare infrastructure and services.
She explained that the donated cardiac monitors would be deployed to PHCs within Health District III and Health District VI.
The equipment will be allocated to facilities where they are considered most needed.
Adeleke also said the government would monitor the equipment to ensure proper use and effective deployment.
She stressed the importance of maintaining the monitors so that they can continue serving residents over time.
The intervention is expected to strengthen the capacity of selected PHCs to monitor patients requiring cardiac observation.
It will also support healthcare workers in providing timely services at the grassroots level.
The Permanent Secretary encouraged residents to take advantage of the Lagos State Health Insurance Scheme, Ilera Eko.
She explained that enrolment could help residents reduce the financial burden associated with accessing healthcare services.
The call forms part of wider efforts to encourage more Lagosians to participate in organised health coverage.
Earlier, the Chairman of Brown’s Table, Mr. Kunle Adeniji, described the donation as a modest contribution towards improving healthcare delivery.
Adeniji said the organisation was pleased to partner with the Lagos State Government through Health District III and Health District VI.
He explained that Brown’s Table was motivated by the need to support access to timely and quality healthcare services at the community level.
According to him, the organisation remains committed to initiatives that promote the health and wellbeing of Lagos residents.
Adeniji also urged the benefiting health districts to ensure proper use and maintenance of the donated equipment.
He noted that responsible management of the monitors would help maximise their benefits across the selected healthcare facilities.
The donation highlights the growing role of private organisations in supporting public healthcare programmes.
Through such partnerships, government facilities can receive additional resources to complement existing medical infrastructure.
Primary Healthcare Centres remain important points of access for residents seeking essential medical services within their communities.
Strengthening these facilities can improve the quality and efficiency of healthcare delivery at the grassroots.
The cardiac monitors are expected to provide healthcare workers with additional tools for patient monitoring.
Their deployment across selected PHCs will also support the state’s efforts to improve healthcare capacity at community level.
Health District III said the equipment would be distributed based on identified needs.
This approach is expected to ensure that facilities requiring the equipment most urgently receive appropriate support.
The government’s monitoring plan is also designed to promote accountability and proper utilisation of the donated equipment.
Adeleke’s appeal for stronger partnerships reflects the importance of collective action in addressing healthcare needs across Lagos.
Government agencies, private organisations, community groups and other stakeholders all have roles to play in improving healthcare outcomes.
Brown’s Table’s intervention provides another example of how such collaboration can support public health facilities.
The partnership also reinforces the importance of corporate and social responsibility in strengthening community services.
For residents in Ibeju-Lekki, Eti-Osa, Epe and Onigbongbo, the intervention is expected to contribute to improved access to essential healthcare support.
The state government is expected to continue working with relevant partners to strengthen healthcare services across its districts.
The emphasis remains on ensuring that healthcare facilities have the tools and personnel required to serve residents effectively.
The donation also complements broader efforts to improve primary healthcare and expand access to quality services.
Adeleke reiterated the government’s appreciation to Brown’s Table for supporting its healthcare objectives.
She encouraged other organisations and stakeholders to consider similar interventions that can benefit communities.
For Brown’s Table, the donation represents part of its continued commitment to supporting health and wellbeing initiatives across Lagos.
The organisation expressed confidence that proper management of the equipment would help extend its benefits to more residents.
The collaboration between the Lagos State Government and Brown’s Table demonstrates the potential of strategic partnerships in strengthening healthcare delivery.
With continued support from stakeholders, the state can further improve the capacity of PHCs to meet the needs of residents.
The donated cardiac monitors are expected to become valuable additions to selected facilities across the two health districts.
The initiative ultimately supports the shared goal of making quality healthcare more accessible to Lagos communities.
