REPORT ON
THE VISIT TO GENERAL HOSPITAL IGARRA BY IDA TEAM

Igarra
Development Association (IDA) sent a fact finding team to the
General Hospital, Igarra to know the situation on ground.

The team was led by
Mr. Monday Sule and included Hon. Fatai, Ofei and Paul Alaba
Lawani

The Medical Director of Akoko-Edo LGA Dr
Bello received the team at the hospital. After exchanging
pleasantries Mr. Monday Sule briefed Dr. Bello on the reason for
the visit.

Dr Bello informed the team that, He is the
zonal medical director of Akoko_Edo LGA and that it is impossible
for him to be at either Ibillo, Uneme, and Igarra at the same
time.

He said that the
work load was too much for him alone to handle. He also said that
the hospital has only four official nurses and 5 warders making it
difficult for them to attend to all the patients at the same
time.

Concerning the referral issues, he
disagreed with the claims of the complainants. He also said that
having his ownership of a private hospital wasn’t a taboo and that
it’s like that everywhere.

Concerning the laboratory, He said he has
tried all he could to ensure that there is a standard laboratory in
the hospital, but the government said they don’t have what it takes
to employ specialists (Radiologist) in that field that will handle
the scanning machine and other related equipment’s
efficiently.

Finally, he was asked by the team that in
what areas IDA can be of assistance to the hospital.

He said he will appreciate it if IDA can
assist in getting more doctors, 4 other qualified nurses, 5
warders, a modern ambulance to replace the already worn out one,
and a standard laboratory.
He expressed a warm gratitude
over the donation of staff quarters by Mr Wagna, a member of IDA to
support the health sector. He also said it will be of great help if
IDA can apply for NYSC doctors.
He concluded by saying that
the last renovation work in the hospital was not completed as the
roof of one of the buildings was removed and not
replaced.
