Prof. Olufemi Fadiora, the Chief Medical Director of Ladoke Akintola University Teaching Hospital, Osogbo, Osun State said on Monday that the hospital would soon commence drug manufacturing in commercial quantity.
Fadiora, who spoke with the News Agency of Nigeria in Osogbo, said the hospital would not derail from its mandate of ensuring qualitative health care.
He said the hospital had registered LAUTECH Pharmaceutical Company Limited with a view to preparing the ground for the take-off of production.
Fadiora said the hospital was capable of producing about 10,000 bottles of assorted liquid syrup per day for adults and children.
He said: “Apart from producing our own drugs, we will play a major role in providing supplements for other hospitals that may want to buy from us.
“We will ensure strict compliance with general manufacturing practices and maintain standards at all times.”
Fadiora said all necessary protocols had been followed, including inspection by the Pharmacists Council of Nigeria.
He said the facility owed its continuous success to the cooperation of the two owner-states of Oyo and Osun.
