The Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH), received a donation of medical equipment from the Ladies Section of Ikeja Golf Club, GRA, as part of the Club's annual Corporate Social Responsibility initiative aimed at supporting quality healthcare delivery, on Wednesday, July 8, 2026.
Speaking on behalf of the Ladies Section of Ikeja Golf Club, GRA, the Vice Captain, Otunba Modupe Oyeduntan, explained that after the success of previous outreach initiatives, members unanimously resolved to support a healthcare institution by donating medical equipment and selected LASUTH because of its reputation for excellence and the critical role it plays in providing specialist healthcare services.
"We are delighted that this vision has become a reality. Despite the challenges we encountered in sourcing equipment, we remained focused on making a meaningful contribution to healthcare delivery. We hope these items will support the hospital in providing quality care, especially for children and other vulnerable patients", she said.
