Over the last two decades, General Hospital Ilorin that is meant to provide all sorts of health care services for citizens in the state has repeatedly referred patients to the University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital (UITH) as a result of its dysfunctional Intensive Care Unit (ICU)
which lacked the availability of equipment required to carry out such treatments.
For emphasis, the facility is not just in short supply of manpower and personnel with the requisite knowledge and expertise to oversee the ICU,
For emphasis, the facility is not just in short supply of manpower and personnel with the requisite knowledge and expertise to oversee the ICU,
the referrals over the years were also due to the fact that the ICU was ill-equipped, leading to loss of lives and bringing about hardship for patients, save for a few cases.
The fate of the hospital is about to change with Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq giving quality and affordable health care delivery topmost priority in the state.
The governor has committed huge funds to the building of a state of the art facility Intensive Care Unit that would offer series of health services to the citizenry.
The new ICU facility when completed will attract people from far and wide in search of quality ICU care, making it about the biggest in North Central.
The General Hospital Ilorin will become a one stop shop for quality and affordable health care services with its capacity to treat ICU patients and significantly reduce the survival gap associated with risks of referrals.
The building of the ICU by Governor AbdulRazaq translates into uncommon commitment on the part of the government that is capable of turning Ilorin General Hospital into a medical tourism centre which will by no means increase the revenue generating capacity of the state.
