Adunni Olayiwola Foundation Donates Wheelchairs to LASUTH
The Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH) received a donation of 14 wheelchairs from the Adunni Olayiwola Foundation, in a gesture aimed at supporting patients in need of mobility assistance. The donation, made on Friday, 25th July 2025, was presented in loving memory of the family’s late matriarch, Mrs. Adunni Olayiwola.
Representing the family at the handover event, Mr. Seun Olayiwola, who is the son of Late Mrs. Olayiwola, stated that the donation was part of an ongoing effort to honour their mother’s legacy through meaningful acts of philanthropic service. “This is something we do to honor our late mum, by giving back to society and supporting lives in ways that reflect her legacy. Our focus is to ensure these wheelchairs reach those who truly need them and cannot afford them,” he said.
The Chief Medical Director, Professor Adetokunbo O. Fabamwo, on behalf of the hospital management, expressed his sincere appreciation for the donation, noting its importance in patient care. He noted that wheelchairs are essential in the hospital’s day-to-day operations, especially for the elderly and immobile patients. According to him, “The Lagos State Government continues to do its best, but government alone cannot meet all the demands of healthcare delivery. That is why partnerships with private individuals and organizations like this are vital to enhancing our capacity to serve.”
Also present at the ceremony were members of the LASUTH Top Management Team, including Professor Adebowale O. Adekoya, Director of Clinical Services and Training; Mrs. Olayinka Oye-Bamgbose, Director of Hospital Administration and Human Resources; Mrs. Adebola Aina, Director of Nursing Services; and Dr. Olayinka Olawoye, Deputy Chairman, Medical Advisory Committee (Clinical Services II).
Mr. Seun Olayiwola, was joined by Mrs. Oyeyinka Ogundare, Mr. Tosin Ogunlokun, and Mr. Adesiyan Adebanjo, representing the family.
