In a bid to prioritize the health and well-being of its students, Lagos State University (LASU) has initiated mandatory and comprehensive medical check-ups for all 100 level students. This move, aimed at ensuring the students start their academic journey on a healthy note, has been met with a call for cooperation and understanding from the university's Health Services Directorate.

The Director of LASU Health Services emphasized the importance of cooperation from students, staff, and parents to facilitate the smooth execution of the exercise. He urged everyone involved to refrain from interfering in the process, assuring that every student scheduled for the check-up will be duly attended to.
To streamline the process, LASU Health Services has adopted a call-up basis system, with approximately 50 to 70 students set to undergo screening daily.
"Students are required to visit the LASU website to print out their medical schedules. They are then instructed to proceed to the Health Centre (Old Building), Outpatient Section, at the main campus in Ojo, Lagos," LASU noted.
According to the school management, "students must present the following documents upon arrival; printed copy of the medical screening schedule date, two recent photographs, copy of receipt for medical screening, and writing materials".

The university administration has issued a stern warning, stating that any student who fails to attend their scheduled medical check-up will face sanctions.
This initiative underscores LASU's commitment to promoting the health and welfare of its student body, ensuring that they receive necessary medical attention and support as they embark on their academic journey.
