Osinbajo celebrates Duchess International Hospital on first anniversary

Duchess International Hospital, Ikeja has marked its first anniversary.

Duchess International Hospital belongs to Reddington Hospital Group.

Recently, the hospital successfully carried out leg surgery on Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo.

In a goodwill message, Osinbajo commended the hospital for its services saying that his one-week post-surgery was  “perhaps one of the most comfortable hospital accommodations anywhere in the world.”

Speaking at the anniversary ceremony on Thursday, Adetokunbo Shitta-Bey, chief executive officer of the hospital, reiterated the hospital’s commitment to impacting the lives of all Nigerians through access to affordable world-class healthcare.

Shitta-Bey emphasised the hospital’s priorities to include: building trust in the healthcare system, providing high-quality, affordable services to Nigerians and reversing the trend of medical tourism abroad.

Reflecting on the significant accomplishments of the previous year, the CEO of Duchess Hospital stated that the hospital is pleased of having successfully completed a broad array of regular and sophisticated specialist interventions across a range of specialities and sub-speciality clinical services.

“It has been our privilege, in the past year to bring joy and satisfaction to the lives of ordinary Nigerians, and to restore hope, often in quite difficult circumstances, through life-saving treatment delivered right here at the Duchess International Hospital,” he stated.

He described the hospital as a “one-stop-shop for primary, secondary and tertiary care services, positioned to save Nigerians millions of Naira in medical tourism for treatment of health conditions which would otherwise have required medical intervention abroad.”

This assertion was supported by patients’ testimonials delivered at the occasion, including one from Otunba Alaba Shonibare, who successfully underwent knee replacement surgery at the hospital a few months ago.

He spoke about the quality of care he received while on admission at the hospital and the reasons for his decision to have his knee replacement surgery performed at the Duchess Hospital in particular.
