Delta State Governor, Sheriff Oborevwori, on Wednesday, inaugurated cutting-edge medical equipment at the Central Hospital, Warri.
The newly acquired facilities include eight hemodialysis machines, 25 4D user-friendly ultrasound scanners, and two German-manufactured rugged CT scan machines.
The state-of-the-art equipment will be distributed across the three senatorial districts in the state, significantly boosting diagnostic and treatment capabilities at government-owned health institutions.
Speaking at the inauguration, Gov. Oborevwori said the procurement of the medical facilities is to improve healthcare delivery in the state.
The governor who invited the Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, to inaugurate the medical equipment, said that out of the eight dialysis machines, three are for the Central Hospital, Warri, two dialysis machines for the Delta State University Teaching Hospital, Oghara and the other three for the Specialist Hospital, Asaba.
“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 its assigned machine. While the symbolic gesture may be quiet, the impact will resonate across our communities.
