University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital has concluded plans to start cosmetic surgery and kidney transplant in the hospital.

Speaking at a press conference in Ilorin on Tuesday, the Chief Medical Director, Prof. Abdulwaheed Olatinwo, said UITH had the capacity to match the development.

He stated that the hospital’s plan to start renal care and kidney transplant was delayed to ensure a good start as well as sustained quality and efficient service delivery.

He said the project would commence in June.

Olatinwo said, “We are looking at the aspect of cosmetic surgery. We are already working with some institutions outside the country so that people can go for training on cosmetic surgery.

“Plastic surgery entails even reconstructing for bones which we are doing perfectly well. We have the capacity, manpower, two consultants and we believe that within a very short time, people can even come in for cosmetics training.”

He added, “About renal care and kidney transplant, we believe in total quality care. We want to be sure that we get it right 100 per cent and we are able to sustain it. That is the reason for the delay.

“But I can assure you that we are almost at the state of carrying out the procedure. Investigations have been concluded. Before the end of June, we shall be able to have renal plant transmission.”

Olatinwo said there were standard medicare and modern medical equipment in the country, adding that the number of Nigerians travelling abroad for medical attention had reduced.

He stated that because of the improve health care, many foreigners had been coming to Nigeria for medical attention.

According to him, UITH spends about N16m on diesel and N2m as electricity charges from Power Holding Company of Nigeria monthly.

He explained that at the inception of his administration, the power available to the hospital was less than 20 per cent of its needs.

Olatinwo stated that the hospital had invested much in power for efficient service delivery, adding that currently, power supply to the hospital had increased from low supply at inception of his administration to about 85 per cent of its power demand.

Ilorin makes a lot of noise. Same way their university VC made so much noise about a student completeing ICAN exams and attaining the chartered qualification before graduating!

So much noise from Kwara.

We maintain their renal patients here in Ife. I particularly had one. She had to travel several times because their Teaching Hospital did not offer the facility. Same for Plastic surgery. Those things are normal things here in Ife.

Can't imagine all the noise coming from the Saraki's state.

ok

Dem never even start sef-
#by June we gor hear another tori-

Great one!

Are they trying to create awarness or in search of their first victim?

Who dem wan kill?

Ole! Ole! Bravo! Bravo! more synovial fluid to their elbow

lets, pray there would always be light to do the operations and also pray that they maintain the hospital equipment

Nice development !! they should equip themselves accordingly

That's a good news but i'll advise anyone who wants to live longer to wait till others have succesfully undergone theirs.

waiting to see specimen "A"

I am so happy, finally a kidney transplant center in Nigeria.

So the best you could do is to propagate Ife while you critize these welcome development in ilorin?

I don't see any wrong doing in announcing that you will/have commence/commenced a service which you were not rendering before. It is just to reduce the stress that people go through to come to Ife for such service (if they truly render the service). Except of course if you are scared that you may not have patients again and as such your residency under threat!

BTW,do you have anything against Kwara State? because by calling us names (such as Saraki's state), it seems you once had an issue with Kwara/Kwarans. We are good people o, biko no vex 4 us if we offend you in any way.
