Prof. Olufemi Fadiora, the Chief Medical Director of Ladoke Akintola University Teaching Hospital, Osogbo, said on Monday that the hospital would soon commence drug manufacturing in commercial quantity.
.
Fadiora, who spoke with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) 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.
.
" 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 ".
It is a very good place to pass on knowledge I must confess. The people there would never regret being in a place like that.
