High Reliability welcomes Oluyemi Oshinowo to the podcast. Oluyemi is the Healthcare Facility Manager at the Marcelle Ruth Cancer Centre and Specialist Hospital in Lagos, Nigeria. Oluyemi becomes our first guest from the Continent of Africa.

High Reliability, The Healthcare FM Podcast is brought to you by Gosselin/Martin Associates. Our show discusses the issues, challenges, and opportunities within the Facilities Management (FM) function.

The Marcelle Ruth Cancer Centre and Specialist Hospital provides Nigeria's first world-class, one-stop centre for the comprehensive treatment of cancer and specialist conditions. Marcelle Ruth was opened to provide easily accessible, world-class cancer treatment. Built on Victoria Island, Lagos, they offer the highest standards of care with the latest treatments and technology in comfortable surroundings.

As Oluyemi and I discuss Nigeria and healthcare facilities management, we look at some similarities and some differences, including:

The genesis of the Marcelle Ruth Cancer Centre & Specialist Hospital, and some background on Lagos and local care;
Career paths, making a move to healthcare facilities management (18:00);
Creating change and learning (28:00);
On facing challenges (50:00).

Thanks to Oluyemi for appearing on the podcast!
