Oyo State governor, Engineer Seyi Makinde has handed over 31 various medical equipments to the management of the Ring Road State Hospital, Adeoyo, Ibadan.
Executive Assistant to the Governor on Administration, Idowu Ogedengbe who represented the governor at the event said the procurement of the medical equipment followed an assessment of the Ring Road State Hospital, Adeoyo, during a medical outreach by the Christ Compassion to the Rural World in 2024.
The governor said that the delivery of the equipment was in line with his administration’s vision to elevate specialist hospitals like the Ring Road State Hospital, to the standard of University Teaching Hospitals, in the area of training and healthcare delivery through the provision of necessary medical equipment.
According to him, the medical equipment would aid the delivery of sound medical service to residents of the state.
He noted that the mission could not use the state hospital to carry out surgical procedures and operations due to the state of the facilities at the hospital’s theatre, stating that the equipment delivered to the hospital were of the best quality and were carefully selected to ensure that their reagents and other consumables were available and affordable.
Governor Makinde appealed to the management and staff of the hospital to make the best of these equipment by putting in place a good maintenance culture that would ensure that they are preserved, last long and very durable.
Earlier, the Chief Medical Director, Ring Road State Hospital, Adeoyo, Dr Oladipo Aremu, appreciated Governor Makinde for his impact in the health sector, stressing that the delivery of the additional equipment would enhance the hospital’s services and also alleviate challenges in providing quality medical care services for the people of Oyo State.
