Obaseki expressed satisfaction on the partnership between his administration and UBTH, which resulted in the refurbishment of the hospital’s 8-bed isolation facility and molecular biology Diagnostic Laboratory (PCR Suite) to fight against the COVID-19 pandemic.

 

The governor said the state is fortunate to have three Federal Government medical institutions, adding that they have all been instrumental in curtailing the spread of coronavirus in the State.



“We have visited the isolation ward refurbished for COVID-19. This is a small isolation ward with eight bed space. Another 40-bed isolation ward is being reconfigured and will be ready on Monday. We are fortunate that they have acquired a PCR machine and set up a molecular biology laboratory, which we have come to inspect.”
