Kwara State Governor, AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq has boasted that the multi-storey Oluremi Tinubu Hospital in Ilorin will be the best public hospital in Nigeria.
During an inspection visit to the hospital on Monday in Ilorin, AbdulRazaq said the state government plans to make the facility a rallying point in terms of personnel and equipment.
While expressing satisfaction with the work done so far, AbdulRazaq noted that all major high-end imaging equipment, such as MRI and CT scanners, mammograms, and X-ray machines, are already on-site for installation.
“We are counting down to completion. We’re hoping to commission this facility as soon as possible. That’s why we have come to look at the work being done and to make sure we put pressure on the consultants and contractors to be on time.”
“We want to go for the best and maintain the best. The important thing, also, is to be able to attract the best consultants and continue to improve the welfare of doctors and all medical workers.”
“This will probably be the best public hospital in Nigeria. I know Lagos is building Massey Hospital (Massey Children’s Hospital), but I think ours will surpass that in terms of services,” the Governor said.
The Governor further stressed that healthcare service remains the cornerstone of every responsible government to cater to the health needs of the people.
He assured that all necessary machinery would be put in place to ensure that the hospital remains the best in terms of quality healthcare delivery services.
