Ketu-Ejinrin General Hospital has officially commenced full operations of its Eye Clinic, expanding access to quality and affordable healthcare for residents of Epe Division and neighbouring communities.
Epe Insights reports that the newly operational Eye Clinic will provide comprehensive eye care services, including eye screening, eye examinations, prescription and dispensing of medical glasses, and a wide range of eye surgeries.
The development marks a significant step in improving specialist healthcare services within the hospital. Residents can now receive professional eye care without travelling long distances to access treatment.
Hospital management said the Eye Clinic is equipped to diagnose and manage various eye conditions. The facility is expected to support early detection of vision problems and reduce preventable cases of blindness through timely medical intervention.
Patients requiring corrective lenses can also benefit from eye tests and professional prescriptions before receiving suitable medical glasses tailored to their visual needs.
In addition to eye care services, Ketu-Ejinrin General Hospital continues to provide comprehensive medical treatment across several healthcare departments.
Residents can access general medical consultations for common health conditions through the hospital’s General Medicine unit, where qualified healthcare professionals provide diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up care.
The hospital also offers specialised gynaecological services for women, including consultations, diagnosis, treatment, and reproductive healthcare aimed at improving maternal and women’s health.
Patients requiring surgical intervention can benefit from the hospital’s surgical department, which provides a range of surgical procedures alongside professional pre-operative and post-operative care.
Management also confirmed that the hospital handles various surgical-related conditions, enabling patients to receive quality treatment within the facility.
Laboratory services remain an essential part of the hospital’s healthcare delivery. Patients have access to different laboratory investigations that support accurate diagnosis and effective treatment.
The availability of comprehensive laboratory testing allows healthcare professionals to make informed clinical decisions while ensuring patients receive appropriate medical care.
The hospital also maintains a pharmacy stocked with affordable medications to support treatment after consultation and diagnosis. Access to quality and reasonably priced drugs is expected to reduce the financial burden on patients.
Healthcare stakeholders have welcomed the expansion of services at Ketu-Ejinrin General Hospital, describing it as an important milestone in improving access to specialist and general healthcare within the region.
Residents are expected to benefit from the convenience of receiving multiple healthcare services under one roof, ranging from eye care and surgery to laboratory investigations and general medical treatment.
The commencement of the Eye Clinic is also expected to encourage routine eye examinations, helping residents detect vision problems early before they develop into more serious medical conditions.
Medical experts continue to emphasise the importance of regular eye checks, particularly for children, older adults, and individuals living with conditions such as diabetes and hypertension, which can affect vision if left untreated.
The expansion of services reflects ongoing efforts to strengthen healthcare delivery by making quality medical services more accessible to residents of Ketu-Ejinrin, Epe Division, and surrounding communities.
Residents seeking eye care, surgical treatment, laboratory investigations, gynaecological services, or general medical consultations have been encouraged to visit Ketu-Ejinrin General Hospital to access the newly expanded healthcare services.
The hospital’s enhanced service delivery is expected to improve health outcomes, reduce referrals to distant facilities, and provide residents with timely, affordable, and comprehensive medical care closer to their communities.
