Nigeria’s foremost airline, Aero Contractors, has upgraded its clinic with the support of Paelon Memorial Hospital, which donated medical equipment to the facility.
Speaking at the unveiling of the rehabilitated clinic, the Managing Director and CEO of the airline, Captain Ado Sanusi said that the upgrade of the clinic is historical and commended the hospital for coming to support the modernization of the clinic.
“I think today marks a very unique day in our history. We have come to reopen the clinic. The clinic has been there for a long time. And I think it was Charles who actually told me about it, and said we should redo the entire thing. And we took it up as a project. And then luckily for us, Charles Grant has affiliates and he decided to also join us in the project.
First, we would like to thank Paelon Memorial Hospital very much. This project would not have been done without you. I really, really appreciate it. And you have shown that Paelon Memorial Hospital is an entity that understands corporate social responsibility. And thank you very much,” he said.
The Chief Finance Officer (CFO) of Aero Contractors, Charles Grant expressed gratitude to his wife and mother in-law who are in charge of the hospital which donated the hospital equipment to Aero Contractors to upgrade the clinic.
The equipment donated include one complete bed, two drip stands, one oxygen concentrator, two bed lockers and one examination couch.
Speaking about the support, the Chief Operating Officer of Paelon Memorial Hospital Mrs. Unoma Grant, explained how the hospital supported Aero Contractors in upgrading its clinic.
“When Charles (Grant) mentioned that they were upgrading their clinic. I told him that I would like to see it. It started with me coming to see. I said, okay, let me have a look at what the space you have looks like. And he said, even if you can’t do anything, you can advise us of how best we can do it. And then after having a look at the space, I saw that actually there was a lot they could do with the space, because we have assisted some organizations with setting up small site clinics that can take care of emergency cases and provide some care for their patients.
“So, the next step was, what would they need? The nurse at the clinic generated a list of things that she would need in order to set up the clinic. So I shared that list with the matron who was here with us. And I asked, what in this list do you have that you can donate to this cause? And so she donated a bed, oxygen concentrator, bedside lockers, and drip stands as well to the list which we sent to the clinic for them to use.
Top officials of Aero Contractors who spoke at the unveiling of the rehabilitated clinic, expressed gratitude to the Paelon Memorial Hospital and also were excited that the clinic, which has provided medical services to the staff and relatives for years, has been upgraded.
