Afenifere Chieftain and Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, governorship aspirant in EkitiState has called on the state government to pay more attention to the parlous state of hospitals in the State, saying, "the present state of infrastructure and medical services in hospitals in EkitiState should be a source of concern to well‑meaning indigenes of the state."
.
He admonished the state government to stop paying lip-service to health-care delivery in the state, adding that, "spending a whopping sum of N70 million on a 'Health Mission' programme in which Paracetamol, cotton wool, cotton bud, soap and toothpaste are distributed when hospitals in the state are under‑staffed with decaying infrastructure is a waste of public fund."
.
In a release issued in Ado‑Ekiti today, by the Director General of Prince Adedayo Adeyeye Movement (PAAM), Hon. Bisi Kolawole, the PDP governorship aspirant said he was worried that all the 18 General Hospitals in the State were no longer functioning, having been closed down because of a renovation project that has been abandoned.
The state has a governor so something should be done about such hospitals.
I've never been there but with the way things are said about it something just has to be done to make it work in the state.
