HEALTH NEWS: kidney Transplant to begin in DELSUTH by february, says Dr. Uduaghan....

Imagine not having to travel out to get a Kidney transplant!!! I can see our health sector growing rapidly... Some days ago it was Dangote who laid the foundation for a 1000 bed-capacity Hospital in Kano state. And today, its Dr. Emmanuel Uduaghan...



Delta State Governor, Dr. Emmanuel Uduaghan has said that the state University Teaching Hospital, Oghara would start kidney transplant latest in February just as he acknowledged the tremendous increase in medical tourism to the State.



Dr. Uduaghan said: "As a result of the pressure on the hospital facilities and personnel, an additional 300 bed-facility would soon be added to the University Teaching Hospital, stressing that this would ease the pressure on the hospital for medical attention and reduce the waiting time for beds especially for surgical cases.



"The various health programmes in the state especially the Free Maternal and Rural Health Scheme have benefitted both Deltans and non-Deltans alike especially the poor and needy in the state. The programme is open to all Nigerians irrespective of states and tribes in the spirit of brotherliness and peaceful co-existence.



"As a trained doctor, it will be harsh and inhuman for me to turn back a pregnant woman from the state Free Maternal programme because she is a non-Deltan. We are all Nigerians and we have to help ourselves in areas of need," he said.



A niice addition to our Health sector. God bless you Sir.
