Nigeria LNG (NLNG) Hospital Support Programme (HSP), has unveiled a renovated and expanded Accident and Emergency Unit at the University of Uyo Teaching Hospital (UUTH), Akwa Ibom State. It was commissioned by Governor Umo Eno, represented by the Secretary to the State Government (SSG), Prince Enobong Uwah.
NLNG’s Managing Director, Dr. Philip Mshelbila, said: “NLNG is focused on the pursuit of interventions, initiatives or experiences that make life meaningful for Nigerians grounded upon the four pillars of education, economic empowerment, infrastructure and health. Yes, health.
“A healthy nation is the foundation for a wealthy nation; hence successes in other areas of development are anchored on sound health.
“It is indeed my belief that today’s commissioning of this renovated Accident and Emergency Unit opens new vistas for sustainable growth of Akwa Ibom State and indeed Nigeria.”
Eno said government was interested in partnering with corporate organisations to further develop government facilities and elevate the general wellbeing of its populace.
Minister of State for Petroleum Resources (Gas), Ekperikpe Ekpo, the unit would be a place where lives would be restored and hopes rekindled in the darkest of moments.
The renovated centre is equipped with modern medical equipment to support the services of the unit, including ECG, diathermy and anaesthesia machines, nebulizers, electric suction, POP cutter and spreaders.
