ELETA IBADAN
Hospital Annual Report 2008
1.0. INTRODUCTION
The hospital has recorded modest achievements in terms of process re-engineering, leading to effectiveness in our operations owing to turnaround time of patients and efficiency leading to higher We are constantly scanning the environment to ensure that opportunities are embraced while taking urgent steps to combat threats. Our slogan in terms of service delivery is always ‘Quality Service Excellence’ which means maintaining customer loyalty. This goes beyond the usual rhetoric’s of ‘Customer Satisfaction’ in the sense that a dissatisfied patient could stop patronizing the hospital.
Maintenance of patient loyalty can make patient see the hospital as his own and wanting progress for same. Such patients offer advice in areas where deficiencies are noticed by them and would want certain changes to be made. These patients are reluctant to abandon the hospital. We are proud that suggestions from such patients have helped in our effort at achieving our service slogan.
While noting that the hospital still has excess capacity, we are on the verge of entering into collaborations with some financial institutions who have promised to get some of their customers to Professor Albert Ainstein, a German Philosopher once said “I shall pass through this way but once. Every good deed l have to do, let me do it now, let me not defer, for l shall pass through this way but The effort to prosecute our service slogan is derived from this maxion as we see our current role in the hospital as a journey which providence has devolved on us.
2.0. NATIONAL HEALTH INSURANCE SCHEME (NHIS)
The scheme has various Health Maintenance Organizations (HMO) and the hospital has about nineteen of them that pay in their capitation every month, so as to affect prompt health care services to all enrollees of the scheme.

publicity for the services that we render and we equally enjoy more patronage.

2.3. Solution: The hospital will pay more attention to the scheme by making provision for doctor’s

11.0. FINANCIAL REPORT
11.1. Income Statement
Result showed total income of N111, 410,400 while expenditure was N111, 261,766 giving a marginal Various strategies evolved at achieving our target income paid off in the year as we exceeded the budgeted figure. However we battled with high expenditure profile noticeable mostly on maintenance and repairs having to be carried out, and some running costs like diesel in view of the near total breakdown of electricity supply in the country. We have however made progress at reducing these expenditures. The result will however be more visible in year 2009.
11.2. Collection on Receivables
Out of the over N900,000 owed by Total Health Trust, a Health Maintenance Organization, only the sum of N56,000 has so far been received from them. We have resurrected the matter of the indebtedness and steps are on to achieve recovery of the balance.
Sum of over N450, 000 remain outstanding at the ward.
Most of the debts crystallized as a result of financial distress suffered by the patients. On some occasions, corpses were abandoned by indigent relatives of diseased patients and hospital had to take urgent steps to make them shoulder responsibility of burial.
11.3. Payment to Suppliers
Suppliers were paid on due date. Payment dates are 14th and 28th of each month or the next working day where payment date falls on a weekend or a public holiday.
11.4. Investment
We have added the sum of N3, 000,000 to our funds at Kakawa Discount House in Lagos. We are enjoying an interest rate of above average while total sum invested is N8m with roll over period of 90 days. Interest is used for working capital purposes.
We equally invested in shares to the tune of over N3m. We have however not been fortunate with the investment in view of the global recession which affected our capital market. Foreign investors divested of shares in our capital market to reduce their exposure to risky assets and meet redemption needs in their home countries. We are however leaving the current investments in the belief that the bearish nature of the stock market will become bullish in no distant future.
11.5. Other Accounts
We maintain current accounts with United Bank for Africa PLC and Union Bank PLC. The accounts were operated on credit basis only and are used for transactions to facilitate smooth running of the 11.6. Donations Received
