Ondo to establish medical varsity

The Ondo State government has announced its plan
to establish a specialised medical science university
to actualise its achievements in the health sector and
stop the emigration of experienced scientists from
the state.
The state Commissioner for Information, Kayode
Akinmade, said the varsity would be named the Ondo
State University of Medical Sciences.
Akinmade spoke during a working tour of the Ondo
Medical Village in Ondo town.
He said the university would build on the platforms
already created by the government to ensure the
development of qualitative health care system in the
state.
He said the institution, when established, would halt
the brain drain being experienced in the health
sector through the production of top quality health
professionals to effectively run the various hospitals
in the state.
Ondo State is said to be the only state in the South-
West without a teaching hospital.
Akinmade said the establishment of a medical
science university would halt constant exit of health
workers seeking to explore further career
opportunities within and outside the country and
that the proposed medical school would replicate the
Mother and Child hospitals across the state.
The institution is also expected to make provision for
an institutional-based acquisition of academic,
professional and technological knowledge needed for
manpower development in technology and basic
applied sciences.
The commissioner explained that at the beginning of
the Governor Olusegun Mimiko administration, basic
health indices of the state were considered the worst
in the entire South-West due to the relatively high
rate of maternal mortality and morbidity.
Akinmade said the administration immediately
responded by initiating ambitious health care
development programmes aimed at reducing the
burden of diseases and mortality among the people
of the state
He listed as part of the state’s health schemes the
Abiye Safe Motherhood initiative, which seeks to
provide free access to quality health care services for
pregnant women and children less than five years of
age as well as the famous Mother and Child hospitals
in the state.
He also said that the government had established
trauma and surgical centres to handle critical trauma
and burns cases.
