The management of the University College Hospital, Ibadan, says it has rescinded its earlier decision to add a N1,000 electricity fee to the service charge of every patient admitted in the hospital.
This was contained in a statement made available to newsmen in Ibadan by the hospital’s spokesperson, Mr Toye Akinrinlola.
The statement quoted the Director of Administration of the hospital, Stephen Oladejo, as saying that there was never a time the hospital charged such a fee.
It said that there was no time the hospital charged such fee and that it was more concerned with adequate healthcare delivery to Nigerians.
It said the memo being referred to was an internal document which was not implemented after a thorough review from internal mechanisms for such issues and had since been withdrawn.
