The
attention of the management of ValuedSeed, owner of LekkiHill Plastic Surgery
Hospital, has been drawn to an online publication by a blogger where she made a
ludicrous and totally false assertion about an unfortunate event that has no
connection with our hospital or personnel.
We find the
unending macabre fixation on LekkiHill by this blogger disturbing and a sharp contrast
to every known ethics of the noble profession of journalism.
For the
record, LekkiHill Plastic Surgery in line with international regulations and
internal code of conduct, cancelled all scheduled surgeries a few days after
the index case of the COVID-19 was recorded in Nigeria, long before the
lockdown was initiated by the government. It is therefore ridiculous to claim
that the Hospital recorded a casualty when no surgical procedure was performed.
It should
also be on record that since its inception and having conducted thousands of
surgical procedures, LekkiHill Hospital has not recorded a single casualty till
date.
As an
organization with a focus on easing the pains of the people and giving them
hope, confidence and a new lease of life, we have often distanced ourselves
from the shenanigans of rumour peddlers and fake news merchants who take pride
in causing the exact pain we swore an oath to turn around to happiness.
But we will
no longer be silent in the face of an obvious sinister plot to drag our salient
strides in the mud.
LekkiHill
Plastic Surgery as led by Dr. Femi Oladeji has proven beyond measures as a
leading thoroughly breed professional Hospital that has provided world-class
cosmetic surgeries to important personalities across the globe. People trust us
with their lives and wellbeing and never have we failed.
We are
passionate about the development of the medical profession in Nigeria and see
ourselves as the progenitors of a truly professional cosmetic surgery in Africa
and this is one of the reasons why we are creating the ValuedSeed Edu school to
guide, teach and mentor Plastic Surgeons and those with interest in the medical
profession but limited by finance, language or time barriers across Africa.
Our
KindHeart Foundation has been at the forefront of providing free treatment
facilities to cancer patients no matter their status or societal standing.
In our
quest to also show that plastic surgery is not a luxury but a health remedy, in
spite of the inconveniences, we have been offering humongous discounts every
quarter to many on our social media platforms while still giving free
procedures to the downtrodden and children with emergency needs.
All these
to show that beyond the race to make returns, we are first and foremost,
concerned about the wellbeing of the people.
To serve as
a deterrent to others who may be inspired by the penchants of this blogger for
fake news, our legal counsel has written to the blogger and we will follow
through to the most logical conclusion.
