The Osun State Government has urged the leadership of the Joint Health Sector Union (JOHESU) and the National Association of Nigerian Nurses and Midwives (NANNM) at the UNIOSUN Teaching Hospital, Osogbo, to abandon any plan to embark on industrial action over the proposed Public-Private Partnership (PPP) arrangement for Laboratory Services, stressing that the PPP is in the best interest of the hospital, its workers and, most importantly, the people of Osun State.

Three years ago, Governor Ademola Adeleke demonstrated his resolve of turning around healthcare deliveries in Osun state when he appointed Dr. Akindele Adekunle as Special Adviser on Public Health. Since then, the state's health began to chart a new course, making it possible for the people to access healthcare without much hassle. When Dr Akindele assumed office in 2023, access to qualitative healthcare in Osun state was mere rhetoric as infrastructures and welfare were in a state of disrepair.  Even though the immediate administration had accessed a $20.5 million World Bank grant to renew primary healthcare centres in the state in order to enhance the delivery of healthcare services to citizens, there was almost nothing to show for it as the PHCs selected for renovation failed to meet the required standard of the World Health Organisation (WHO).
