Also included in the team were Dr. Faith Ekpekurede, as Group Director, Emergency Medicine Services, and Dr Joy Oshun, as the non-invasive Cardiology Lead.
A statement by the Group Medical Director of the hospital, Dr. Olutunde Lalude, said the fresh appointments were in line with the hospital’s vision of attracting the best Nigerian medical personnel abroad to use their expertise and knowledge to serve Nigeria and deepen the practice of medicine across specialties.
Dr. Lalude said the appointments were further evidence of the hospital’s continued commitment to arresting outward medical tourism, reversing brain-drain, and improving standards of care.
“These goals are accompanied by a determination to make top quality healthcare affordable, and create employment opportunities to bring significant socio-economic value to Lagos State, and Nigeria as a whole,” Lalude said.
Reddington Hospital became the first private, independent hospital to be awarded international quality accreditation in 2013.
It has been reaccredited on three occasions since then and remains internationally accredited to this day. The hospital has also earned a reputation for being in the vanguard of medical breakthroughs and pioneering firsts in healthcare in Nigeria.
