The Commissioner said: “The leadership of Hospital Management and that of Medical and Dental Consultants Association of Nigeria, MDCAN, DELSUTH actually came to appreciate the Governor for the works he has done so far in the Hospital.
“You know that a month ago, the Governor approved purchase of CT-scan for the hospital; though they requested for more equipment to make the place habitable for staff and patients.
“Governor Oborevwori has also agreed to do more in terms of the Eco-cardiography and even the MRI. He has also assured to make those things available within the quickest possible time.
“Before now, the accreditation for the various departments in the hospital was basically reliant on the state government. But currently, the internally generated revenue for the hospital has increased.
“Two weeks ago, the hospital got accreditation for National and West Africa for Surgery Department and in the nearest possible time, they will get accreditation for some other departments in the hospital.
“Currently they are working on the Radiology department, the Dental department, Internal Medicine and some other ones.”
