FG donates medical equipment to Ijebu-Jesa General Hospital

The federal government on Monday donated medical equipment to the Ijebu-Jesa General Hospital, in Oriade LGA in Osun.

The equipment was donated through the National Lottery Trust Fund (NLTF).

The medical equipment donated includes an X-ray mobile machine, four infant incubators, three hematocrit centrifuges, 10 suction machines, five autoclaves, and three defibrillators for automatic and functional self-tests.

Others were two electrophoretic tanks/machines, two physiotherapy equipment, two ENT diagnostic sets, 10 sphygmomanometers (digital and manual), and three cesarean section instruments.

During the donation, NLTF CEO Tosin Adeyanju said the donation was made under President Bola Tinubu’s ‘Renewed Hope Health Intervention’ programme.

Mr Adeyanju said the donated equipment was a project funded by the NLTF under its approved lottery for good causes intervention in health.

“Due to the president’s concern for the downtrodden, we deem it fit to ensure that the people of Ijebu-Ijesa benefit from the renewed hope health intervention.

“This equipment will undoubtedly enhance the quality of healthcare services in Ijebu Jesa General Hospital and save lives to the glory of God and humanity,” he said.

Mr Adeyanju urged the community to take ownership of the equipment and utilise it appropriately to benefit Nigerians. He said the agency monitoring and evaluation team would visit all the projects executed for feedback, encouraging the community to provide suggestions.

Olugbenga Abudiore, the president of the Ijebu-Jesa Union’s Conference, appreciated NLTF for donating the medical equipment to the hospital.

Also, Oba Taiwo Aribisala, the Elegboro of Ijebu-Jesa, promised that the community would take care of the equipment. He appealed to the federal government to provide the community with medical personnel to operate and handle the equipment.

Mr Aribisiala also appealed for security personnel that would keep the equipment safe at the hospital.
