Senate Passes Bills To Establish Medical Centres In Four States by clockwisereport: 7:44am On Jun 22, 2022

The Senate, on Tuesday, passed four bills to establish Federal Medical Centres in four states of the federation.

The medical centers will be established in Osogbo, Osun State; Onitsha, Anambra State; Gada, Sokoto State; and Ijebu-Ode, Ogun State, respectively.

The passage of the bills to establish the Medical Centres followed the consideration of four separate reports by the Committee on Health (Secondary and Tertiary).

Chairman of the Committee, Senator Yahaya Oloriegbe (APC, Kwara Central), in his presentations, said the Centres would be equipped with facilities for diagnostic treatment and rehabilitation at the tertiary levels.

According to him, they would also serve as Centres for training of health professionals and conduct advance health research.

In a related development, the Senate, on Tuesday, passed a bill to amend the Teaching Hospitals (Reconstitution of Boards, etc.) Act 2004.

Oloriegbe, in a separate presentation on a report by the Committee on Health (Secondary and Tertiary), explained that the amendment to the Teaching Hospitals Act, seeks to give full legislative recognition to the Federal University Lokoja Teaching Hospital.

“Mr. President and Distinguished Colleagues, every Institution needs to be backed by an enabling law.

“It is against this background that this bill is before the chamber.

“As at today, training facilities in the health sector are inadequate for the current population and projected population growth for Nigeria, currently out at 3 percent per annum.

“Therefore, establishing the Federal University Lokoja Teaching Hospital will address this gap among others”, Oloriegbe explained.

He added that the bill seeks to amend the First Schedule to the Principal Act to include the Federal University Lokoja Teaching Hospital.

“By this amendment, it creates a legal backing for the Federal University Lokoja Teaching Hospital”, he said.

The four bills to establish the Federal Medicam Centres, and the Bill to amend the Teaching Hospitals Act 2004, were all passed by the chamber during plenary, after a clause-by-clause consideration by the Committee of the Whole.

Take it or leave it, every regime has some positive contributions to the overall betterment of the country. But with time a competent hand will emerge to harmonize them all for the genera progress and l transformation of the country. Obediently Obedient servant leader of the patriotic Obedient Nigerians is coming for the harmonisation.

Health may not be wealth, but it definitely is the ability to enjoy wealth. Ill health is a drag.

Good one, our leaders have disappointed us all along, not as if they don't know the right thing to do but because of greed and selfishness has blindfolded them. Too bad to say the least.

Commendable, but not spreadable, they should spread same to include the Niger Delta region, so they don't have to make that long trip to avoid causalities on the road.

it is commendable if the politicians you are commending will patronise the health facilities instead of flying abroad
