Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has been discharged from the Duchess International Hospital where he underwent a successful surgery on his right femur (thigh bone).
This was disclosed in a statement issued on Monday by the VP’s Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Mr Laolu Akande.
Akande, in the statement noted that Osinbajo was discharged after undergoing a physiotherapy and a smooth rehabilitation process.
He added that the Vice-President will continue recuperating in the next few days.
Akande also quoted a statement by the Chief Personal Physician to the Vice President, Dr Nicholas Audifferen, which read, “The Vice President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo, SAN, was admitted to the Duchess International Hospital, Lagos, last Saturday, July 16, 2022, on account of a right femur fracture. He had corrective surgery without any complications.
“He was admitted for a total of seven days, during which he had physiotherapy and smooth rehabilitation following the surgical operation. He has been discharged and is now recuperating.”
Osinbajo also extended his appreciation to all the clinical and ancillary staff of the hospital, led by its Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Tokunbo Shitta-Bey, and the Medical Director, Dr. Adedoyin Dosunmu-Ogunbi, for their professionalism and quality of care.
It will be recalled that Osinbajo last Saturday, underwent surgery on a leg injury.
According to his spokesman, Laolu Akande, the surgery became necessary because of recurrent pain in the leg from an injury he sustained possibly while playing squash.
‘’VP Osinabjo is in the hospital today for a surgical procedure on account of a recurrent pain in the leg possibly sustained from an injury while playing squash. His doctors would give an update of the treatment later today,” Akande had said in a statement.
