We have had the first, the second, the third and when you total it, it\u2019s about 26 40ft containers. It\u2019s a welcome development because medical equipment and hospital consumables were part of the major challenge the state was having.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith this, the major challenge in the health sector has been addressed though we have another serious challenge we are addressing too. Epileptic power supply has been a major problem in the country.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, we also plan to have an alternative power supply to solarize the hospitals so that when the public power supply is not there, we can use the solar system.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe also want to digitalize the hospitals. We want to have what we called electronic medical system whereby with the punch of a button, you can communicate with another hospital when you want to admit a patient. We also need to have a specialized healthcare in our general hospitals.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are still expecting more hospital equipment but not as big as this 4th tranche. The ones we are expecting are heavy equipment like the MRI<\/p>\n<p>and CT scan.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe ones we are delivering now are delivery beds, operating beds, side lockers, beds of different functions. We have two function beds, we have five function beds and all other equipment across the state.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On his part, Commissioner for Information and State Orientation Jude Okpor said the procurement of the equipment was the unwavering commitment of the Nwifuru administration to transform the health sector.<\/p>\n<p>He called on people to protect the facilities.<\/p>\n<p>He commended the governor for addressing the health needs of the people through adequate attention to the health sector.<\/p>\n<p>Okpor said: \u201cWhat we are witnessing here today is the unwavering commitment of the administration of his Excellency, Rt. Hon. Francis Nwifuru to provide the basic necessities of life, particularly medical health facilities of world class standard.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBefore the advent of this administration and the fulfillment of his manifesto, the People\u2019s Charter of Needs as it concerned provision of basic health needs of the people of the state, His Excellency has taken the bull by the horn by providing all the enablement to ensure that the health needs of Ebonyians are met starting from the recruitment of medical personnel.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About Nigeria Follow Africa-Press<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Nigeria.
