''That the healing power of God will begin to operate here,in the entire hospital.The patients will get better.All those that work here,let it be well with them.

''Take care of their families,let your healing power flow through them.This day marks a new time of testimony,signs and wonders in the hospital and all other hospitals in Lagos state.

''All those that have ailments,heal them all.We unveil this plaque in the name of the Father,of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.God bless you.''

While commending the Church,Dr. Adetinuwe Majekodunmi who is the head of Anesthesia and Intensive Care at LASUTH said,patients can now experience first class treatment but a lot still needs to be done.

''They reasoned that it is part of improving the services here at LASUTH,that there is need for some equipment to be upgraded,like the ventilators,monitors acquired some four years ago.

''With these new equipment now,patients as usual will experience first class treatment.Though the number to be attended to are much,despite the fact that there are four beds along with the 16 at CCU that makes it 20.

''And it's still not enough,the beds are always occupied each week of the month round the year.The hospital can do with more because we admit on referrals from other hospitals,private,general or even from neighboring states.''

The C.M.D of LASUTH,Professor Wale Oke who was represented by Professor Ayoade Adedokun who is the Director of Clinical Services and Training said thus:

''Looking at the increasing population of the state,the Church realized that it could assist the state government to care for the over 15 million populace.It is a most welcomed effort,the four bed ICU facility upgrading will bear a lot of burden along with the ones at the CCU.

''The burden of patients on these beds cause wear and tear and for RCCG Apapa family to have refurbished and renovated the ward is highly commendable.Organizations can also help in our dialysis unit.A lot can still be done in our dialysis unit because the government has put the dialysis unit in place with the dialysers running.

''So,the tear and wear always sets in.Organizations can also help patients in the Cochlear implant section.The state government did a lot to assist ten patients regain their hearing and the number of people that required such intervention are still much on the waiting list.''
