A Consultant Cardiologist, Prof. Simon Isezuo, has said on Tuesday that hypertension affects one out of every three adults in the rural areas of the country.
Dr Adebayo said the integrated services were incorporated in the hospital services to offer other specialist treatments, apart from psychiatric care.
He said the hospital currently hosts visiting consultants, who are specialists in different medical fields, working with resident doctors, pharmacists, nurses, and other related health workers to provide efficient services to patients.
“The hospital has world-class equipment such as mobile digital x-ray machine, mobile ultrasound machine, digitalized medical and diagnostic records system, occupational therapy equipment, and modern laboratory tools,” Adebayo added.
In his address, the hospital’s Medical Director, Prof. Shehu Sale, said the federal government had funded several projects in the hospital to enhance services to the public.
Sale said that the projects included an intensive care unit, molecular laboratory, isolation center, family health clinic, accident and emergency unit, and women and children drug-dependent treatment centre.
The medical director added that the total bed space and staff strength of the hospital had been increased, while all financial transactions and administrative records had been digitilised.
Among the participants were, Dr Mutawakkilu Aliyu, the Medical Director of Kware General Hospital, and Nusaiba Adamu, a Nursing student at UDUTH, who described the seminar as relevant and timely, and an opportunity to share experiences and ideas.
