The University of Benin Teaching Hospital (UBTH) is experiencing a significant infrastructure upgrade, championed by the Chief Medical Director Prof. (Mrs) Idia Ize-Iyamu.
Recent project inspections highlight the progress being made to enhance service delivery within the tertiary health institution.
These initiatives aim to modernize facilities and improve the overall experience for staff, students, and patients alike.
Key projects include a new National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) building complex dedicated solely to staff, designed to alleviate pressure on the General Practice Clinic (GPC).
Additionally, an ultramodern staff lounge, complete with a creche and playground, is nearing completion.
Prof. Ize-Iyamu’s vision is to create comfortable spaces for relaxation and socialization, fostering a more supportive environment for UBTH employees.
The revival of the previously abandoned creche is a particularly noteworthy achievement, offering essential services for nursing mothers.
During the project inspections, Prof. Ize-Iyamu addressed concerns about patient waiting times at the GPC, emphasizing the importance of prompt treatment and medical attention for all.
These infrastructure improvements and operational adjustments reflect a commitment to ensuring that every Nigerian has access to quality healthcare at UBTH.
The ongoing developments promise a more efficient and patient-centered healthcare environment within the university teaching hospital.
