Gov AbdulRasaq’s procurement of sophisticated MRI machine excites KWASUTH
The Chief Medical Director of Kwara State University Teaching Hospital, Dr Mujidat Oyewole, has said arrangements are underway to install a Magnetic Resonance Imaging machine at the hospital.
Mr Abdulkadir said on Sunday in Ilorin that Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq had procured the MRI machine for the state and installation would commence soon.
“A lot of our patients travel to Ekiti, Oyo and Lagos states for MRI investigations, causing delays and unnecessary stress,” Mr Abdulkadir said.
He recalled a patient who said she was fifteenth in the queue for an MRI, with eight patients ahead of her coming from Ilorin.
“We once had an MRI, but it was a first-generation machine supplied during the administration of former President Olusegun Obasanjo,” he said.
Mr Abdulkadir said the governor approved one of the latest MRI machines, describing it as “a very sophisticated facility” that would significantly improve diagnosis and patient care.
He added, “The machine will enhance our procedures and medical records. All arrangements have been made, and it will be available very soon.”
He commended the governor for sustained investment in modern medical equipment, saying the hospital had never enjoyed such opportunities in the health sector. (NAN)
