By Kehinde Odinde
The Ogun State Emergency Medical Services and Ambulance System (OGSEMSAS) has partnered with the Federal Road Safety Corps to enhance emergency response and save lives on the state's highways, marking a significant milestone in the state's efforts to improve road safety.
This strategic collaboration aims to create a synergy between the two organizations, fostering a united front in tackling emergency situations and providing timely medical attention to those in need.
Dr. Hassan Adelakun, the state Director of OGSEMSAS, revealed that the partnership is part of the Ogun State Emergency Medical Treatment Committee (OGSEMTIC), a multi-stakeholder initiative that brings together key players in the state's emergency response ecosystem.
The partnership is expected to yield significant results, with Dr. Adelakun noting that it's a "game-changer" for the organization. "By working together, we can significantly reduce response times and save more lives," he said.
To achieve this goal, the partnership will involve thorough training, with Road Safety Corps training OGSEMSAS pilots on defensive driving techniques and OGSEMSAS training Road Safety personnel on emergency medical services.
This exchange of expertise will enhance the capabilities of both organizations, enabling them to respond more effectively to emergencies and provide critical care to those affected.
Dr. Adelakun urged Road Safety officers to utilize the OGSEMSAS emergency contact number, 0811 200 0033, during emergency situations, emphasizing the importance of prompt medical response and attention.
The emergency contact number is expected to be a lifeline for those in need, with all state and general hospitals in Ogun State designated as referral centers for emergency victims, providing medical treatment and resuscitation.
Ogun State Sector Commander of Road Safety Corps, Corps Commander Akinwumi Fasakin, praised OGSEMSAS for the collaboration, highlighting the importance of teamwork in saving lives. "This partnership is a testament to our commitment to protecting lives on our highways," Fasakin said.
Dr. Festus Adetonwa, Deputy Director and Head of Operations of OGSEMSAS, stressed the need for constant meetings and monitoring of highway activities to achieve tangible results, noting that the collaboration is just the beginning of a significant reduction in fatalities and injuries on the state's highways.
The partnership between OGSEMSAS and Road Safety Corps is poised to revolutionize emergency response in Ogun State, and the public is encouraged to take note of the 0811 200 0033 emergency contact number. With this joint effort, lives will be saved, and the state's highways will become safer.
