UNTH mgt. hails Gov. Ugwuanyi’s massive projects at ESUT Teaching Hospital

The management of University of Nigeria Teaching Hospital (UNTH), #Enugu, has expressed delight at the massive development projects being executed simultaneously at the permanent site of the Enugu State University of Science and Technology (#ESUT) Teaching Hospital and College of Medicine, Igbo-Eno, by the administration of #Governor Ifeanyi #Ugwuanyi.

Speaking when he led members of the management team of #UNTH to inspect the ongoing works at the site on Thursday, the Chief Medical Director (CMD), Prof. Obinna Onodugo, disclosed that the vision, the massive projects and the planning are “simply unbelievable” and in keeping with the World Health Organization (#WHO) standard.

Prof. Onodugo stressed that the members of the UNTH management team were highly impressed and amazed, and commended Gov. Ugwuanyi for holding on tightly to the sound vision in spite of the nation’s economic, security and public #health challenges.

The UNTH CMD, who was led round the ongoing projects alongside members of his team by the Commissioner for Works and Infrastructure, Engr. Greg Nnaji, his Health counterpart, Dr. Emmanuel Ikechukwu Obi, and one of the contractors, Arc. Henry Arinze, added that the health facility which is sited at Igbo-Eno, Enugu North Senatorial District of the state, is another laudable effort of Gov. Ugwuanyi in developing the rural areas and creating more urban centres for socio-economic expansion.

“This is development moving to a new area. With this you (Ugwuanyi) are actually opening up a new town because this will attract a lot of development around it.

“This is just fantastic. We are all excited about this. We are happy and I want to say kudos to the Governor of this State (Enugu). This is visionary”, the UNTH CMD said.

It would be recalled that Gov. Ugwuanyi in his inaugural address promised that “Enugu State under us will pay a special attention to rural development because majority of our people live in the rural areas”, adding that “we will create more urban areas to boost economic growth; create fresh economic opportunities and reduce pressure on Enugu metropolis”.

Also commending Gov. Ugwuanyi’s administration on the designs and features of the ESUT Teaching Hospital, the College of Medicine buildings and the Students’ Hostels projects at Igbo-Eno, Prof. Onodugo said: “Truly, we saw that the plan is modern; the bed to toilet ratio; there is colour-coding; even the patients' desks are colour-coded, everything is to standard is as recommended by WHO and this is how it is supposed to be; it is just amazing.

“We saw elevators and others. We learnt that there is going to be a helipad. Recall that the whole idea of having this type of structure is to reverse medical tourism. So if you really want to reverse medical tourism and you don’t have a place where people (patients) can actually land, then it is not complete.

“In short, one of the members of the team said that now he believes that there is hope in Nigeria.

“We have come; we have seen; we have made our inputs; we have asked questions because each Head of Department (HOD) was asking where is this? where is that? and we have actually been satisfied.

“We also want to express our gratitude to the State Executive Council (EXCO) for supporting the governor immensely. We want to thank everybody and we look forward to the commencement of the services here.

“We hope that when the commissioning of the project will happen, we will be invited so that we will also come to see the fulfillment of a dream”.

In his remarks, the Commissioner for Works and Infrastructure, Engr. Nnaji, thanked the UNTH management team for the validation visit as well as their verdict “that every facility we are putting on ground here is in line with World best practices”.

According to him, “we went round, they saw the facilities; they appreciated the effort of His Excellency, the Governor in having the foresight, the vision to take the healthcare delivery of the state to another level”.

On his part, the Contractor handling the ESUT Teaching Hospital project, Architect Henry Arinze revealed that the health facility is “conceived as Nigeria’s response to the problem of medical tourism”.

He pointed out that “the governor’s vision was to provide a hospital even if himself is sick, he can be brought here; so he wanted a hospital that has provision for everything and that is what we gave him”.

OK na.. Come back in 10 years to see this hospital. Lack of maintenance

I don't know if #amokeluis is advertising himself or the governor. Cheap sponsored publicity on nairaland.

Say 2 years.

Did he fly there? Why isn't he working in roads Abi e shocks no dey shake am

Commendable, but they should also invest agricultural products and other human capital development which I believe will reduce it idleness and poverty

Continue hailing a man without conscious,
Which Enugu is in hand of God is that God that will punish all of u. For selling ur own brother to Fulani people, all the innocent blood that has been splash in Igbo land will be upon u ,all the Igbo governors and ur generations also with those sporting evil.

Ok

Jobs will put food on ur table and it's human beings that are doing the construction not spirits

OP, you captioned it ESUT teaching Hospital and I have been seeing UNTH all over your piece.

ESUT teaching Hospital and UNTH are not the same.

UNTH is University of Nigeria teaching Hospital while the other is Enugu State University of Science and Technology teaching Hospital.

Good development. More still needs to be done.

Good job

The word "simultaneously" should do justice to your point of concern. Meaning that the OP's choice of word is correct and in order.

bcoz all the teaching hospitals cannot be in Enugu town sir while others suffers inside villages for lack of health care

They are using blocks to do foundation lol

I hen ordinary houses I see concrete .

These govs wicked Abeg

Don't you think building primary health care centers in those villages would have been better and save fund for other pressing issues?

What would be the fate of the present structures when they are moved to the new site?

Not all teaching hospitals are in Enugu town, UNTH is in itiku-Ozalla which a remote suburban.

primary health care is not enough oga, there are many such little health care all around but once there's a case of surgery, they start looking for a hospital which does not exist except private hospitals which is costly in most cases

Typical sub village activities...

History is a vital aspect of human existence.

According to history,which I witnessed,UNTH
now at Ituku-Ozalla ,a border between Enugu East & West Senatorial Districts, was originally planned and sited in Nsukka,Enugu North Senatorial district.

The ESUT Park Lane in Enugu City,Enugu East Senatorial district,was originally planned and sited in Nsukka,Enugu North.

There are many other federal tertiary institutions in Enugu City ,like ortorthopedic hospital,psychiatric hospital,dental school,etc all in Enugu East Senatorial districts.

So justice demands that ESUTH Teaching hospital be taken back to Enugu North ,where greater population of the state citizens reside.

Be guided accordingly.

Well I understand your concern, but what do you think would happen to the old structures at parkline?
