Fidson Healthcare PLC donates theatre pharmacy to FMC Asaba

Fidson Healthcare PLC has donated a state-of-the-art Theatre Pharmacy to the Federal Medical Centre (FMC) in Asaba, Delta State, Nigeria. The company's Commercial Director, Ola Ijimakin, stated that the donation was made in recognition of the hospital's significant contributions to saving lives and providing healthcare services in the region.

“

FMC Asaba is an institution close to us and it’s doing a great job in this part of the country, we felt we can support that work.

Mr. Ijimakin highlighted that FMC Asaba is an institution close to Fidson's heart, and the company felt compelled to support its vital work. The specific project, a theatre pharmacy, was identified as a priority by the hospital. The initiative represents a substantial investment, costing tens of millions of naira, and is a key component of Fidson's Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) program. The facility is designed to be a fully equipped pharmacy dedicated to the operating theatre, including essential drugs, a resting place, offices, and all necessary tools for efficient surgical care.

“

I feel very excited and happy that we are commissioning a project that is a partnership between FMC Asaba and Fidson Nigeria Healthcare.

During the inauguration, FMC Medical Director Ekeneam Omo lauded Fidson Healthcare PLC for the project, urging other partners to emulate their CSR efforts. He noted that the new, larger space for the theatre pharmacy significantly improves upon the previous, much smaller room. This enhancement will provide better value for both medical professionals and patients, ensuring easier access to critical drugs during emergencies. The inauguration was also marked as a double celebration, coinciding with the Medical Director's birthday, further underscoring the positive impact of the partnership.

“

The project is a thing of joy; it will improve healthcare delivery at the hospital. I call it a double celebration because our medical director is also marking his birth anniversary on this date.
