Chief Executive Officer of Foster Dynamics Synergy International Limited, Temitope Alonge, has called on the Oyo State Government to reclassify its healthcare facilities, saying the current structure does not reflect their actual functionality.
Alonge made the call while presenting the report of an assessment of secondary healthcare facilities across the state, noting that several hospitals designated as secondary facilities are underperforming despite their size and staffing levels.
He said the situation has created a system where some primary healthcare centres deliver better services than facilities classified as general hospitals.

“A lot of the secondary health care facilities are not as good as some primary health care centres,” he said.
He recommended a four-tier structure comprising primary health centres, cottage hospitals, general hospitals, and tertiary institutions, arguing that many existing general hospitals should be downgraded based on performance and capacity.
