 Serena Williams' husband addresses critics over White House UFC event Alexis Ohanian, husband of tennis star Serena Williams, faced backlash after attending President Trump’s 80th birthday celebration at the White House, which doubled as a UFC event staged by Dana White’s TKO group. The spectacle drew criticism when fighter Josh Hokit used his post-fight interview to make a vile slur about former First Lady Michelle Obama.  Ohanian, who co-founded Reddit and now owns several sports teams, stayed silent for days before finally condemning the remark on social media, insisting he had already left the event when it was made. In his statement, Ohanian explained that he attended at the invitation of UFC’s parent company and emphasized his past decision to resign from Reddit in protest against hate-filled communities. He also noted he was leaving the venue early due to jet lag from traveling between Europe and the U.S. to support Williams’ tennis comeback.  While he expressed r...

PERMANENT SECRETARY TASKS HEALTH WORKERS ON IMPROVED HEALTH SERVICE DELIVERY


Permanent Secretary, Lagos State Health District II, Dr. Dayo Lajide, has tasked health workers in the District, covering Kosofe, Somolu and Ikorodu LGAs, with improving health service delivery to residents in all Primary Health facilities within the District.

Lajide, who gave the charge recently during the inaugural meeting of the management and staff of the Lagos State Health District II including the newly appointed heads of Directorates and Medical Officers of Health (MOHs) within the District, harped on the need for health workers to team up and provide quality and efficient health services anchored on patient empathy, dignity and respect to residents.

She added that showing empathy and treating patients with dignity and respect will help improve patient satisfaction, treatment compliance and clinical outcomes. It will also go a long way in achieving the goal of attaining universal health coverage, noting that patients are more likely to access health care and follow their treatment plan at health facilities where they feel heard and understood.

While noting that the Lagos State Government through the Ministry of Health and the State Primary Health Care Board had organised continuing medical education programmes and capacity development training centered around the role of healthcare workers on quality health service improvement, Lajide assured health workers in the district on the State Government’s commitment to continuous training and capacity building programmes in that regard.

The Permanent Secretary explained that the inaugural meeting of management and staff of the Health District II with MOHs was geared towards ensuring that newly appointed officers of Health District II and MOHs understand their roles and responsibilities, and work in synergy to provide affordable and accessible quality health services to the people of the district as envisioned by Mr. Governor.

"The aim of the inaugural meeting was to formally introduce the district officers to the MOHs and also discuss the level of implementation of the Free Health palliative initiative of Mr. Governor at various PHCs within the District", she said.

It is pertinent to note that the Permanent Secretary had previously held four meetings with the MOHs since her appointment where she reiterated her dedication to ensuring the smooth delivery of healthcare at the primary level throughout the district.
