The resident doctors in Enugu State Univesity of Science and Technology (ESUT) Teaching Hospital, Parklane, has lauded Gov. Peter Mbah for the giant strides his administration made in various sectors, especially health sector.
The doctors commended Gov. Mbah-led administration for advancement of her members from senior registrars to consultants and recruitment of over 100 new resident doctors, consultants and other support staff for quality healthcare delivery.
This commendation is contained in a statement signed by Dr Ofonere Chukwunonso and Dr Nnamani Ikemefuna, who are the President and General-Secretary of the Association of Resident Doctors (ARD) ESUT Teaching Hospital, respectively on Sunday.
The statement appreciated the administration for upgrade of the security and surveillance architecture in and around the state teaching hospital and support of accreditation for several departments to promote training of resident doctors and medical students.
According to the statement, the government recent positive input included the cashless payment policy and digitalisation of patient care through electronic medical records system, upgrade of schools of nursing to college status to train more nurses and paramedics in the state.
"Gov. Mbah has recently delivered new ambulances and upgrade of the accident and emergency complex to better align with international best practices, implementation of a policy system to reward productivity among hospital staff and payment of improved hazard allowance,.
"The government recently approved the renovation of all the toilets and bathrooms in the wards of the hospital to ensure safety and comfort of patients and staff.
"We have witnessed the flag-off construction of hundreds of model type-2 primary health facilities in each of the 260 political wards in the state," the statement said.
The doctors also commended the Chief Medical Director (CMD) of the state teaching hospital, Prof Ngwu B.A.F., for imbibing the governance philosophy of Gov. Mbah and positively turning around the hospital within a very short period of time.
it said: "The CMD is commended for his commitment to ensuring that all departments in the hospital obtain full accreditation, as well as his undertaking massive infrastructural upgrade projects aimed at repositioning the teaching hospital as one of the top 10 tertiary health centers in Nigeria.
"The resident doctors specially appreciate Secretary to the State Government, Prof. Chidiebere Onyia, the special adviser to the governor on health, Dr Yomi Jaye and senior special assistant to the governor on revenue, Mrs Okebu Adenike, who worked to ensure optimal outcomes and prevent crisis in the health system."
The statement, however, tasked the state government on accelerating the process of payment of the 2023 Medical Residency Training Fund (MRTF) to Resident Doctors in the State Teaching Hospital, as is obtainable in several other states.
It also tasked the government on urgent upward review of the salaries of medical doctors in the state, to reduce the suffering occasioned by the worsening economic down turn, and lower the rate of brain drain of medical doctors.
According to the statement, the brain drain of medical doctors is currently alarming with attendant negative effects on the health indices for the state.
"The resident doctors are also requesting for employment of more house officers, in line with the recent upgrade of quota by the Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria.
"The resident doctors constitute a major and critical workforce in any teaching hospital and their welfare and well being should to be prioritized by the hospital management and the state government.
"The resident doctors are ready and poised to ensure industrial harmony and smooth running of the state teaching hospital," the statement said.
It said that the resident doctors pleged to assist the government in making Enugu State a center for Excellence in Healthcare and a prime destination for local and international medical tourism.
"The resident doctors are asking the good people of the state to support government in its efforts and vision to change the face of Enugu State and position it as one of the top states in Nigeria and Africa, in terms of human and capital development," it added.

Posted on Sep 07, 2024 at 01:48 PMEthical Leadership Centre, Enugu recognising visionary leadership is certainly a milestone towards 'making excellence the norm'. Big thanks to Chief Ben Etiaba for his tireless effort to improve our society and it's pillars.
Posted on Sep 10, 2024 at 09:51 AMYes Rangers! Our darling team was the hope of everyone across the niger to get thrilled and be happy. Rangers was the binding wire that bound the faith of the IGBO MAN together. Because the Igbos does not believe in anybody, rather the Igbo-man believes in self and God. He believes in what he can do for himself and others. Otherwise, how could a people in a war situation be cut off from outside world, they were not getting relief materials from the world bodies, no ammunition and the rest, and things got most trying and difficult. But in such horrible state of life, the IGBO-MAN produce the great bomb fondly called (Ojukwu bucket or Ogbunigwe) that destroys and kills in multiple folds, produced fighter jets which they used during the war, the Igbo-man produced his own fuel both for aviation and automotive uses. The Igbo-man started live again after the war with just twenty pounds only and excelled beyond imagination. Rangers FC was a reincarnated spirit of Igbo-man, that of course was the reason Rangers took over the football sphere in Nigeria shortly after it was founded in early 70's. Well let me come back before I go adrift Rangers International FC. I appreciate my brother Chief Ben Etiaba "Ifennia" founder Ethical Leadership Center Enugu, for the good job he is doing , especially in fishing out our men and women of substance who has paid their dues in their different callings and honouring them duly. Finally, my Congratulations goes to Dr. Joseph Ugboaja the Chief Medical Director Nnamdi Azikiwe University Teaching Hospital Nnewi for his milestone achievement so far at NAUTH. I also congratulate the young enterprising Director of Rangers management board chief Ugboaku for his visionary leadership and achievements. God bless you all, and let the flame keep burning!
