NLNG Limited, the Nigerian Liquefied Natural Gas company, has started another round of commissioning of projects in its multi-billion-naira Hospital Support Programme (NLNG HSP) in Lagos, Kano, Bayelsa, and Cross River states.

The round kicked off with the commissioning of an Obstetrics & Gynaecology Ward at Lagos University Teaching Hospital (LUTH), Lagos. This will be followed by the commissioning of an Intensive Care Unit (ICU) at Niger Delta University Teaching Hospital (NDUTH), Yenagoa; an Occupational Therapy and Neuromodulation Rehabilitation Centre at Aminu Kano Teaching Hospital (AKTH), Kano; and a Neurosurgical and Stroke Centre at University of Calabar Teaching Hospital (UCTH), Calabar.

NLNG’s Hospital Support Programme (HSP) is a national Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiative aimed at boosting the healthcare delivery system in 12 Federal University Teaching Hospitals across the six geopolitical zones in Nigeria. The programme began in 2022, targeting 12 hospitals in total.

Speaking at the LUTH commissioning on Monday, NLNG’s Managing Director and CEO, Dr. Philip Mshelbila, represented by Mr. Andy Odeh, General Manager, External Relations and Sustainable Development, said the goal of the project was to support the provision of quality medical care for Nigerians through the improvement of tertiary healthcare delivery system in the country, with attendant impacts on medical research and retention of in-country medical expertise.

He called on LUTH’s management to ensure that the facilities were put to practical use for patients and training purposes. The Minister of Health, Dr. Osagie Ehanire, represented by the Minister of State for Health, Honourable Ekumankama Joseph Nkama, also lauded NLNG’s effort in improving the quality of healthcare in LUTH, stating that the project has complimented the efforts of the federal government in this regard.

The newly commissioned LUTH project involved the complete renovation and upgrade of the Obstetrics & Gynaecology (Ward C) Block, a four-storey building, and the provision of 120 beds to serve the prenatal and postnatal services.

At NDUTH, Yenagoa, NLNG commissioned a new Intensive Care Unit (ICU) building featuring a six-bed ICU and four-bed Renal Dialysis Unit connected to the existing operating theatre. In Kano, at AKTH, a two-winged Occupational Therapy and Neuromodulation Rehabilitation Centre bungalow was constructed with facilities such as a female ward, children’s ward, nurses’ station, and ward round room.

At UCTH, Calabar, the project is an 18-bed Neurosurgical and Stroke Centre, including a nine-bed male and nine-bed female ward, an operating theatre, three consulting offices, a pharmacy, two sleep-in rooms, nursing and recovery rooms, and other associated facilities.
