Sanwo-Olu Inaugurates Newly Built Multi-Storey Sickle Cell Centre In LASUTH

Lagos State has welcomed a newly built healthcare infrastructure to expand access to care for children living with sickle cell disorder.

Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, on Friday, formally inaugurated the two-storey Paediatric Sickle Cell Centre sited in the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH), Ikeja.

The purpose-built medical facility was donated by the Office of the Senior Special Assistant (SSA) to the President on Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) occupied by Princess Adejoke Orelope-Adefulire.

The intervention was initiated to address the inadequacies and strengthen the Centre to cope with the volume of sickle cell cases daily attended to in the Centre.
