In a bid to enhance healthcare services in Nigeria, Egbin Power Plc and Sahara Group Foundation have donated a fully-equipped Intensive Care Unit (ICU) to the General Hospital Ijede, Lagos. The 5-bed ICU will significantly enhance the hospital’s capacity to provide critical care to patients in the state.
Speaking at the handover ceremony, Egbin Power CEO Mokhtar Bounour emphasized the company’s commitment to community development and empowering lives. Director of Governance and Sustainability, Sahara Group Foundation, Ejiro Gray, noted that the facility will bring critical care services closer to the people, reducing avoidable losses of lives.
The Acting Chief Medical Director, General Hospital Ijede, Dr. Olumuyiwa Balogun-Oluwa, commended the collaboration and noted that the facility will serve the Ikorodu community and Lagos State at large.
The donation is part of Egbin Power’s Personal Corporate Social Responsibility (PCSR) programmes, which include annual medical outreaches, free electricity supply to General Hospital Ijede, and donations of hospital-grade oxygen and medications to hospitals within Ikorodu.
This initiative aligns with the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 3, ensuring healthy lives and promoting well-being for all ages.
