The School of Health Information Management (SHIM), Lagos University Teaching Hospital (LUTH), Idi-Araba, Lagos, says it has zero tolerance for hooliganism, cultism and examination malpractices.

Prof. Chris Bode, LUTH Chief Medical Director, made this known on Thursday in Lagos.

Bode spoke at the matriculation ceremony of 85 students of both Higher National Diploma (HND) and National Diploma (ND) programmes for 2019/2020 academic session.

According to him, if students can avoid all of what the school has zero tolerance for, then, they will enjoy their stay in the school.

Bode, represented by Prof. Wasiu Adeyemo, Chairman, Medical Advisory Committee (CMAC), said that the ceremony was to formally introduce the students to the two years programmes respectively.

He said that the school has two batches of students comprising 44 and 41 for HND and ND respectively.

The chief medical director said that criteria for admission into the National Diploma was based on the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) requirements.

He said that the best among the applicants were offered admission for ND programme, adding that majority of those offered HND did their ND in the school.

Bode also advised the students to familiarise themselves with the rules and regulations, especially the “dos and donts’’ guiding their stay in the institution.

He urged them to do only those things that would make their parents  proud of them and desist from all those evils that would bring sorrow to their parents.

In his remarks, Mr Gidado Samson, Acting Head of the School, said that as health information managers, they were to receive, register and attend to patients.

Samson said that they would be saddled with the responsibility of collating information and preserve them for future reference in the hospital setting.

“LUTH has the foremost School of Health Information Management in Nigeria and had been witnessing tremendous achievements,” he said.
