US-based Group donates medical equipment to Nigerian hospital

US-based Ugbaio Itsekiri Incorporated has donated medical equipment to Central Hospital, Warri. The donated equipment has an estimated value of over N120 million.

The hospital equipment donated included anesthesia ventilators, pulse oximeters, NIBP monitors, laryngoscopes and patient vital signs monitors, as well as other medical equipment needed to address the growing needs at this facility.

The medical equipment was presented to the State Commissioner for Health and management of the hospital on behalf of the organization by Prof. Oritsegbemi Omatete, a patron of the organization. Prof. Omatete commended the management of Central Hospital, Warri for their dedication to their duties in the face of inadequate medical facilities.

According to Prof. Omatete, who is based in the USA, the donation of this medical equipment resulted from witnessing the experience of suffering mothers at the UCH, who were seen collecting water and taking it to the second floor of the hospital some time ago. This donation serves as the organization’s contribution to the healthcare system of the Delta State Government. He also stated that this medical equipment would go a long way towards assisting the hospital with providing a higher quality of care for its patients.
