OAU Dentistry Graduates Donate Solar Inverter to Boost Dental Services

The 2011 set of dentistry graduates of Obafemi Awolowo University has donated an 11KVA solar inverter to the Dental Centre of the Obafemi Awolowo University Teaching Hospitals Complex (OAUTHC), in a move aimed at strengthening healthcare delivery.

The donation, which was presented at the centre, is designed to address the challenge of unstable electricity supply and improve the overall efficiency of dental services. The solar-powered system now supplies electricity to nine clinics within the centre, significantly reducing dependence on erratic public power and allowing dental procedures to be carried out without interruption.

With the new system in place, both patient care and staff productivity have improved, as services can now run smoothly regardless of external power conditions.

One of the key areas of impact is infection control. Sterilization of dental equipment, which was previously slowed down by inconsistent electricity supply, is now faster, more reliable, and more efficient. This improvement is expected to enhance hygiene and safety standards, while also reducing the turnaround time for dental procedures.

Speaking during the presentation, the Physician in Charge of the Dental Centre, Prof. Elijah Oyetola, commended the 2011 set for their foresight and generosity. He described the donation as both timely and transformative.

“This kind of support from our alumni is highly commendable. It shows a deep sense of responsibility and commitment to the growth of the institution. The impact of this solar inverter will be felt across multiple units within the dental centre,” he said.

The donors, who contributed collectively as the 2011 set, were represented at the event by Dr. Ethelbert I. Ugwu and Dr. Titilayo Afolabi. In their remarks, they explained that the initiative was driven by a shared desire to give back to the institution that played an important role in their professional development.

They also expressed hope that their contribution would encourage other alumni sets and stakeholders to support efforts aimed at improving infrastructure and service delivery in public health institutions across the country.
