The Minister of Health, Dr Osagie Ehanire, says President Muhammadu Buhari has laid a strong foundation upon which the nation’s healthcare sector can continue to build resilient institutions.
Ehanire made the assertions on Monday in Ibadan, while inaugurating seven projects at the University College Hospital, (UCH), Ibadan.
He said: “We all recall how much our nation’s health system was stressed following the COVID-19 pandemic and the commitment of President Muhammadu Buhari to do all possible to guide our nation out of the threats.
“He approved one molecular laboratory, an oxygen plant, an ICU and an Isolation Centre for all Federal Tertiary hospitals in every state in Nigeria.
The minister commended the board and management of UCH on the initiatives and milestones achievements.
He urged them to recapture the past reputation of the hospital as not just a premier hospital in Ibadan, but as a leading destination for cutting-edge healthcare in Africa.
