He described the event as another landmark achievement in LASUTH’s history, with notable figures in the healthcare sector in attendance.
He admitted that while the programme’s popularity had exceeded expectations, LASUTH had meticulously designed it to ensure excellence. One of its unique attributes, he noted, was the inclusion of an international certification from John Academy in the United Kingdom, in addition to the LASUTH certificate.
This global recognition equips graduates with the qualifications to work globally. He emphasised the academy’s comprehensive curriculum, which includes critical components such as the legal aspects of caregiving to ensure a well-rounded professional training.
Representing the Lagos State Commissioner for Health, Prof. Akin Abayomi, at the event, was the Senior Special Assistant to the Governor, Dr Oluwatoni Adeyemi, who emphasised that the establishment of the Caregiver Academy is a strategic initiative under the administration of Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, aimed at strengthening and complementing the healthcare workforce amid the growing shortage of healthcare providers.
She highlighted the government’s ongoing efforts to increase the number of skilled professionals at all levels of patient care and hailed Fabamwo for his outstanding contributions to making LASUTH a premier healthcare institution.
