Brief History

The department was created in 1996 with five members of staff. The emerging     digital technology at that time made its creation necessary. Before this time, it was known as Electro-medical Unit under the Instruments Department. Most medical devices were more of mechanical principles and less of electronics and so do not require high technology unlike now when its microprocessors and computer based.

This department was formerly known as Biomedical Electronics Instruments Department until Tuesday 16th August 2016 when it was renamed Biomedical Engineering Department.

However, we seek to close the gap between engineering and medicine. This is achieved through the application of engineering principles, design concepts to medicine and biology. It is pertinent to say that this department carries out the preventive and corrective maintenance on medical devices as well as keeping inventory, supervising and ensuring safety regulation standards on all medical equipment in the hospital.

The department has technical presence in the following areas:

(a) Owena Dialysis Centre

(b) Dental Centre

(c) Radiology Department

(d) Central Sterile Supply Department, CSSD.

(e) Main and Auxiliary Theatres and I.C.U

  • The Salary Section was responsible for the preparation of the regular staff monthly salary and allowances. The staff on the system were Doctors, Nurses and Administrative staff while the Wages Unit was responsible for the payment of hospital casual workers.

However, the name of the department changed in the year 2007 under the leadership of            Mr. Adebayo Abiodun to Finance and Accounts when the then Budget and Corporate Planning Department was merged with the Accounts Department.

Other Significant Events

  1. Ajoje introduced Cash Book into the system to replace the ledger books and dependency on Machine Room.
  2. External Auditor: This responsibility was been handled by the Office of the Auditor General of the Federation before the introduction of Accounting Firms for this exercise. The first External Auditor was Onalaja & Co. (Auditing Firm).
  3. The first hospital cashier was Mr. E. O. Jegede. Subsequent heads of the unit were: Mr. Winsala, Mr. Akangbe, Mr. T. A. Oladipo and Mrs. Sike Imilogome
  4. The Fees Section was first headed by Mr. Okoye followed by Messers Oloyede, Adewumi, Adegbola and Mr. Opasina.

Presently, the department is headed by Mrs. J. O. Matthew, a Fellow of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria. The department presently has twenty – two (22) Sections that handle various aspects of Finance and Accounting of the hospital. It mainly deals with funds flow (in and out) of the hospital which included IGR, fees from patients and releases from the FGN, payment to Contractors and processing of Staff salaries.

Prior to August 2013, the salaries were prepared and paid in the Finance and Accounts Department, however, effective August 2013, the Integrated Payroll and Personnel Information System (IPPIS), a Federal Ministry of Finance Initiative has been responsible for salaries payment to permanent staff, while the department handles salary payment to other staff through Government Integrated Finance and Management Information System (GIFMIS) Platform.

Collection of fees from patient was handled by the department solely up till 2003 after which it was sublet to banks. A further review of the activities of the contracted banks and the latest information technology development, the hospital is presently using the Finance and Accounts staff with Pay Attitude Company to collect payment for the hospital. There are different pay points in the hospital where patients made payment while the department reconcile on daily basis.

The hospital was transacting business with commercial banks until September 15, 2015 when the Federal Government introduced the Treasury Single Account (TSA).

The department, no doubt, has grown in quality and quantity in terms of personnel, volume of financial, transactions and computerization of its services. The department is proud to have over 30 qualified Accountants among her 194 staff.

When Mr. Adetunji M.A took over the leadership of the department, Prepayment Audit was merged with Post Payment while Bank Reconciliation was abolished and has since been replaced with Fund Control and Investments owing to introduction of Treasury Single Account. (TSA) by Federal Government.

In order to keep close watch on Non-Current Assets of the Hospital Coupled with huge investment involved in acquisition  of light medical equipment, a new Unit named Plant Property Equipment/Public Private Partnership was created. Duties of this Unit include monitoring transactions in various PPP arrangement and keeping management informed on the progress and keeping records of Hospitals’ Assets. In order to monitor the investments of the Hospital, Fund Control and Investment Unit has been saddled with this responsibility.

As at today the following are the functional Units to cover various areas of the Hospital: –

technologically changing environment.

SPECIALISED AUDIT SOFTWARE APPLICATION

It is on record that in the present administration under the leadership of Prof. Alonge, Audit Application Software were contracted to Software Companies for use by Internal Auditors in discharge of their duties. The Internal Audit Department is on Intra Network of the Hospital with access to Main File Server in Information Technology Department.
