Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The University College Hospital, Ibadan has said that it has withdrawn its memo which mandates patients using the health facility to pay a sum of N1,000 per day.<\/p>\n

DAILY POST recalls that an internal memo, which was obtained by our correspondent, has said that each of the patient using the facility is to pay N1,000 on a daily basis.<\/p>\n

The management of the tertiary health institution said that it took the decision due to erratic supply of electricity.<\/p>\n

It claimed that the management decided to task the patients using the Federal Government-owned health facility due to the increased electricity tariff and price of diesel.<\/p>\n

The management of the tertiary health institution, however, said that it has withdrawn the internal memo.<\/p>\n

The management made this disclosure via a statement signed by the Director of Administration of the Hospital, Mr. S. O. Oladejo on behalf of the Chief Medical Director, Professor Jesse Abiodun Otegbayo.<\/p>\n

Oladejo, in the statement made available to DAILY POST through the Public Relations Officer of the hospital, Toye Akinrinlola, confirmed that the hospital has withdrawn the memo.<\/p>\n

He said, \u201cThe attention of the Management of the University College Hospital, Ibadan has been drawn to a publication in all sections of the media alleging that the Hospital is charging N1,000.00 per patient daily for electricity.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Hospital wishes to state that the memo being referred to was an internal memo which we did not implement after a thorough review from internal mechanisms for such issues and has since been withdrawn. At no point did the hospital charge electricity fee.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe appeal to the public to ignore the said publication\u201d.<\/p>\n
