Oborevwori boosts healthcare with multi-billion naira equipment inauguration

Governor Sheriff Oborevwori of Delta, has inaugurated a multi-billion naira set of cutting-edge medical equipment to transform healthcare delivery across the state.

The newly acquired facilities include eight hemodialysis machines, 25 4D user-friendly ultrasound scanner, and two German-manufactured rugged CT scan machine.

These state-of-the-art devices are distributed across the three senatorial districts in the state, significantly boosting diagnostic and treatment capabilities at government-owned health institutions.

According to him, today marks a significant milestone as we distribute 25 ultrasound scan machines, one for each of the local government areas in our state.

“Following this event, each local government area will take delivery of their assigned machine. While the symbolic gesture may be quiet, the impact will resonate across our communities.”

He emphasised, “These investments reflect our unwavering commitment to improving healthcare infrastructure and outcomes.

” The State Government will begin comprehensive training for health workers in primary health centers on the proper use of the new equipment.”

The State Commissioner for Health, Dr Joseph Onojaeme, praised the governor for his visionary leadership, describing the equipment rollout as a milestone in Delta’s healthcare journey.

”These include eight hemodialysis machines to be distributed across the three state districts, 25 4D user-friendly ultrasound scan, and a CT scan.

“After consulting with major health facilities in the state, it was noted that the Asaba Specialist Hospital and the Mother and Child Hospital in Warri already have functioning CT-Scans.

“In his wisdom, the Governor approved the purchase of two brand-new, rugged German CT scan to serve the remaining districts.”

He commended Governor Oborevwori’s prompt payment of Medical Residency Training Fund (MRTF), to resident doctors, making Delta one of only three states in Nigeria to fully implement the policy among others.
