APM Terminals Apapa has donated vital medical equipment to the Simpson Primary Healthcare Centre in Ebute Metta, Lagos, as part of its ongoing commitment to improving maternal health and supporting its host communities through corporate social responsibility. Speaking at the handover ceremony, the Chief Executive Officer of APM Terminals Nigeria, Mr. Frederik Klinke, expressed his delight at the initiative, describing it as a reflection of the company’s dedication to uplifting the living standards of communities where it operates. He noted that APM Terminals has consistently supported the health sector by installing power systems and renovating health facilities in different parts of Lagos. “We are proud of the investment and the work done here to increase the survival rate of children, and I hope the community will maintain the equipment and put it to good use,” he said. The Terminal Manager of APM Terminals Apapa, Mr. Steen Knudsen, explained that the company’s corporate social responsibility focuses on three key areas: health, education, and the environment. He highlighted that the donation to the Simpson Primary Healthcare Centre aligns with the United Nations Population Fund’s “10 million Safer Births initiative” launched by Her Majesty Queen Mary of Denmark during her recent visit to Nigeria in June 2025. The Permanent Secretary of Lagos Health District IV, Dr. Abimbola Bowale, praised APM Terminals Apapa for the donation, describing it as a testament to what can be achieved when the public and private sectors work together. “Your decision to invest in Simpson Primary Healthcare Centre, Ebute Metta, is an act of visionary leadership. The community will benefit greatly, and this project should stand as an example for others to emulate,” he said.
