Senator Hope Uzodinma , Imo State governor, is currently doing everything possible to ensure equitable and quality access to basic healthcare for Imo citizens, especially the poor and most vulnerable in the society .
The governor since assumption of office, embarked on massive equipment upgrade and Infrastructural improvement at the Imo State University Teaching Hospital, IMSUTH, located in Orlu; the annexes at Ogbaku, Anara and Alike Obowo. This is to buttress the point that Uzodinma is determined to turn the state as a hub for medical tourism, thereby, reducing foreign medical treatment to it's lowest minimal.
The revamping of abandoned dialysis centre with 7 functional machines, ultrasound room, reversed osmosis unit, colposcopy unit and neurology theatre unit. Others include completion of all the abandoned blocks at phase 2 of the hospital, provision of water throughout the hospital building, improvement of human capital development and staff motivation. These were done by the working governor to reduce foreign medical treatments to the barest minimum.
Recent visit to the health facility during a fact finding mission and an interface with the Chief Medical Director, CMD, showed the governor's determination to drastically reduce the amount of money Imolites and Nigerians spend on foreign medical tour.
Furthermore, our findings revealed that the 3R administration has immensely improved on the welfare package of the IMSUTH staff including making concerted efforts to provide the health workers with a friendly environment,working tools and facilities.
IMSUTH Orlu dialysis section that had been in a state of comatose in several years before Uzodinma's emergence, now runs competitive services with the help of specialists and other support staff.
Uzodinma’s huge investment in IMSUTH, Orlu and its aforementioned annexes would strengthen the income of the state while elevating the state as the hub of medical tourism in the country.
The facelift that the governor made at IMSUTH gives patients strong hope that their health would not be played with. Indeed, the various units of the hospital are wearing new look and are environmental friendly. It is amazing that Senator Hope Uzodimma is contributing immensely to the development of the health sector. Most importantly, the governor has ensured that IMSUTH workers are paid salaries regularly since he took over as the governor of the state.
The construction of the inner road leading to the medical facility, the renovation of old and new buildings in the hospital, the provision of hospital parking lay-out and beautification with security house at the phase 2 of the hospital are encouraging.
Consequently, I hereby appeal to Imolites and residents to be rational and appreciate the efforts of the government in making ensure that the state is returned to its cherished glory. Indeed, this government is for all Imolites. Let us not see this administration as Gov Hope Uzodinma's government, lets see it as ours.
