Eko Hot News reports that the retreat, held at Orchid Hotel, Lekki, focused on the theme “Re-inventing Healthcare Excellence: Balancing Innovation, People, and Sustainability.” In her remarks, the Medical Director/CEO, Dr. (Mrs.) Oluyemi Taiwo, reaffirmed OAGH’s commitment to enhancing service delivery through technology-driven solutions, people-centred care, and long-term sustainability.
Dr. Taiwo noted that the retreat was designed to shape the hospital’s 2026 roadmap by generating bold, actionable strategies that will strengthen healthcare operations. She added that despite challenges such as inflation and the “Japa” syndrome impacting manpower, OAGH continues to improve infrastructure, reduce waiting time, and prioritise patient care. She called for improved remuneration, better equipment, and enhanced stakeholder partnerships.
Chairman of the Health Service Commission, Mrs. Atinuke Onayiga, urged the hospital to uphold high standards and regularly assess strengths and weaknesses to stay competitive.
