Aero Contractors unveils upgraded clinic for workers, relatives

Aero Contractors, a Nigerian-based airline, has unveiled its upgraded clinic.

In a statement on Friday, the airline said it upgraded its clinic with the support of Paelon Memorial Hospital, which donated medical equipment to the facility.

The equipment donated includes one complete bed, two drip stands, one oxygen concentrator, two bed lockers and one examination couch.

Speaking at the unveiling of the rehabilitated clinic, Ado Sanusi, managing director and chief executive officer (CEO) of the airline, described the clinic’s upgrade as a historic event and praised the hospital for its support in modernising the facility.

“This clinic has been there for a long time. And I think it was our CFO, Charles who actually told me about it, and suggested we should upgrade the clinic,” Sanusi said.

“We took it up as a project and then luckily for us, Charles Grant has affiliates who decided to pleasantly surprise us by massively supporting the project by donating these equipments.

“We would like to thank Paelon Memorial Hospital very much. This project would not have been done without you. You have shown that Paelon Memorial Hospital is an entity that understands corporate social responsibility. We are indeed very grateful.”

Charles Grant, chief finance officer (CFO) of Aero Contractors, expressed his gratitude to his wife and mother-in-law, who run Paelon Memorial Hospital, for donating the hospital equipment that enabled the clinic’s upgrade.

Also speaking, Unoma Grant, chief operating officer (COO) of Paelon Memorial Hospital, detailed how the hospital assisted Aero Contractors in upgrading its clinic.

“When Charles (Grant) mentioned that they were upgrading their clinic. I told him that I would like to see it. It started with me coming to see the place and the space. He said even if we can’t do anything we can advise them of what best they can do to upgrade the facility,” the COO said.

“I saw that actually there was a lot they could do with the space because we have assisted some organisations with setting up small site clinics that can take care of emergency cases and provide some care for their patients.

“So, the next step was, what would they need? So I shared that list with the matron who offered to donate a bed, oxygen concentrator, bedside lockers, and drip stands.”

The airline said senior officials of Aero Contractors were also enthusiastic about the upgrade of the clinic which has provided medical services to staff and their relatives for many years.
