Ogun State Governor, Dapo Abiodun has expressed shock over the deplorable condition of the Olabisi Onabanjo University Teaching Hospital (OOUTH), Sagamu.

Abiodun, who was on an inspection tour of the hospital, expressed shock at the state of facilities in the health institution, calling for an urgent attention.

The governor said that many of the medical equipment were obsolete and non-functional.
