À propos de ce contenu audio
Healthcare doesn’t end with diagnosis and treatment.
In this episode, we explore the often overlooked role of medical social workers supporting patients through the social, emotional, and financial realities of illness.
Ms. Titi Tade, Director of Medical Social Services, shares real life insights on when patients need support most, how affordability affects care, and the impact of timely intervention. Mrs. Kehinde Aikomo, Director of the School of Medical & Psychiatry Social Work, discusses how future social workers are trained to tackle challenges like poverty, mental health, and access to care.
Together, they highlight a simple truth: when social needs are ignored, care is incomplete.
🎙 Key themes:
- Patient challenges beyond treatment
- Social workers’ impact on outcomes
- Gaps in healthcare systems
- The need for greater recognition
Celebrating World Social Work Day because sometimes, patients need more support, not more treatment.
