Ex-commissioner donates computer centre to Lagos hospital By Emma Okonji IT. Telecom Reporter, Lagos A computer centre and a functional website have been launched at the Lagos Island Maternity Hospital. The State Commissioner for Health, Dr. Leke Pitan, commissioned the centre, which was donated to the hospital by the International Learning Systems (ILS), Nigeria’s foremost international education provider.   Pitan, at the launch, commended the efforts of the ILS and called for more private sector participation in governance, as championed by the State Governor, Bola Ahmed Tinubu. To him, the launch goes beyond the donation of the computer centre, but signifies a major signpost in patriotism. The commissioner congratulated the chief executive of ILS, Mrs. Sekinat Yusuf,  for her vision and philanthropic gesture, urging all those who have been privileged to serve the government at all levels in the past to emulate her gesture. Yusuf served the previous administration as a commissioner for education.   Yusuf thanked God for the privilege, explaining that she decided to come to the aid of the Lagos Island Maternity Hospital because of the fundamental role the hospital plays in the life of the nation. Life, she said, is special, hence the emphasis on women in health care delivery.  With the computer centre, the hospital would be able to enhance its ability to diagnose and keep records of patients. The objective of ILS, according to her, is to use education as a weapon to eradicate poverty, adding that the institution has also donated computers to the Lagos Post-PrimaryTeaching Service Commission, as well as to some students’ union governments in selected higher institutions of learning. The Permanent Secretary, Hospitals Management Board, Dr. Olayide Ogunsulire, and the hospital’s Medical Director, Dr. Ajetunmobi, thanked the donor for her good gesture, while speaking on many advantages of computer centre. They called on public-spirited people to help support health delivery in the state.       Copyright� 2002.
