he Chief Medical Director of the University College Hospital (UCH), Ibadan, Professor Jesse Abiodun Otegbayo, has congratulated Dr. Temitope Farombi, a Consultant Neurologist at the hospital’s Chief Tony Anenih Geriatric Centre, on the successful completion of her PhD and prestigious international fellowship.
Dr. Farombi recently earned a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Global Health from the University of West London, United Kingdom.

Professor Otegbayo commended Dr. Farombi during a courtesy visit she paid to his office on Tuesday, describing her accomplishments as both inspiring and impactful.
The CMD lauded her commitment to academic excellence and her continued contribution to healthcare advancement, particularly in the areas of geriatrics and global health.
“Dr. Farombi’s achievements are not only a personal milestone but also a source of pride for UCH. Her dedication underscores our institution’s tradition of excellence and commitment to producing globally relevant healthcare professionals,” Prof. Otegbayo stated.
He added that such international recognition would enhance the reputation of UCH and foster future collaborations in cutting-edge medical research and training.
In response, Dr. Farombi expressed her gratitude to the UCH leadership for fostering an enabling environment that supports professional development and academic pursuit.
“I am deeply grateful to Professor Otegbayo and the UCH management for their encouragement and support. This achievement is not mine alone — it reflects the strength and vision of the institution I am privileged to serve,” she remarked.
Dr. Farombi’s dual accomplishment is seen as a significant boost to the hospital’s profile, particularly in the areas of brain health, aging, and equity in global healthcare delivery.
