… committed to 500-bed hospital full operation
One of the cardinal indices to adjudge the performance of any government all over the world is development of the health sector that guarantees the well-being of the people.
The expansion of the Bayelsa Health Insurance Scheme to cover all the citizens is a positive development to public healthcare.
The Government of Assured Prosperity is upgrading primary healthcare facilities across the Local Government Areas to improve access for those in the rural areas.
The deployment of Zipline drones technology for medical supplies to far flung riverine communities is being sustained to drive healthcare in the hinterland.
The targeted programmes to reduce infant mortality as well as emergency response to critical health issues including quick mitigation of any disease outbreak, are the many gains of the robust health policies of the Prosperity Administration.
Great to note that the World Health Organisation (WHO) is very pleased with the health indices in Bayelsa State.
With the new Commissioner for Health in the saddle, Professor Seiyefa Brisibe, the Government is making more investment into building more facilities and employment of qualified health officials to close up the gaps.
For the first time in the history of State-owned health facilities, three haemodialysis machines have been installed in Yenagoa by the Diri’s administration.
While inaugurating the dialysis centre, the Coordinating Minister of Health and Social Welfare, Prof. Muhammad Ali-Pate, lauded Bayelsa State Governor, Douye Diri, for prioritizing healthcare and described the facility as a significant intervention in addressing ailments such as hypertension, diabetes, and kidney failure.
The 500-bed hospital within the Bayelsa Medical Universitu, Yenagoa is replete with history of abandonment.
But Governor Diri said his administration has broken the jinx by equipping a section of the 500-bed hospital with state-of-the-art facilities and establishing the Haemodialysis Centre.
The Governor who is particular about improved public health access, directed the Commissioner for Health, Professor Brisibe, to bring the 500-bed hospital started by the DSP Alamieyeseigha’s administration to full operation by the end of this year.
Good to cheer that work is going on to that effect by the Ministry of Health to get the 500-bed hospital running for the good of the people.
Indeed, the Prosperity Government means well for Bayelsans!
