In order to ensure that the Federal Teaching Hospital,
Ido-Ekiti ( FETHI) matches up with the novel challenges of health issues
around her immediate environment, especially the Coronavirus pandemic
ravaging the world, the Management has procured medical equipment worth
millions of Naira recently.
The state of the art equipment were injected to the key departments
in the health insitution to boost medical services to the teeming
population in and around Ekiti State.
Chief Medical Director of the Hospital, Professor Kunle Ajayi who
spoke with newsmen at the weekend during an on-the-spot assessment of
the new gadgets, said the procurement was made possible through the
cooperation of critical stakeholders in the institution.
He listed some of the newly procured equipment to include; Sysmex 5
Parts Heamatology Analyser, Automated Chemistry Analyzer, Automatec
blood Culture Machine and Automated Semen Analyzer, among others.
The CMD explained that the intervention had reduced the level of
waiting time for laboratory results without compromising standards,
thus improving patients’ care in the hospital.
Professor Ajayi explained that the management devised a novel way of
expanding the revenue base of the insitution which eventually assisted
it in meeting some immediate needs.
He stressed that prudent management of the little resources accrued
to the hospital was the secret of the feat attained in the last two
years .
The hospital’s theatre named after one of its deceased staff TUNDE
ALADESANMI is now a three star ultra modern Theatre complex. The
edifice now has a refurbished Recovery Room, Theatre Manager and Nurse
Station .
A huge new Accident & Emmergency Unit being built by the management is also nearing completion .
Ajayi, however disclosed that the hospital in spite of the huge
investment still run the cheapest medical services compare to others in
the region .
Speaking about his vision, Professor Ajayi said ” In the next two
years, I want to see an Hospital where every member of staff has taken
ownership of its vision and mission statements, corporate culture and
systems.This type of envisioned workforce will imbibe the cherished code
of global best practices in their respective areas of
specialization..
“I also think we shall be better positioned to serve our teeming
patients. The immediate target which we are almost achieving is
encouraging commitment of officers of the hospital to their
responsibilities. Our host community more than ever in history are
showing more interest in the progress of the hospital,” he added.
He disclosed that the community’s recent donation to the hospital
was simply: “a reciprocated gesture of our honest efforts at
repositioning the hospital for the socioeconomic good of the people.”
Professor Ajayi also hinted of the management’s desire to go
digital, saying: “We have actually commenced the process for the
automation of our processes? We have engaged with some financial
insitutions in respect of hospital bill/revenue collection so payments
will no longer be cumbersome.
“Our Health Information Department is also getting support towards
automation. Every 21st century hospital must aspire to automate its
system and processes. Those who fail to do that in the past have been
overtaken by events.
“They became stale and irrelevant to the demands of time .We have to
look at where the world is going and calibrate our processes.
Automation of our hospital isn’t a tea party. This is because of factors
that have their roots in the defective foundation of the hospital. With
the respect there are some technical gap in the design or physical
planning of the hospital but this will not stop us from forging ahead,”
Ajayi reiterated.
A plastic surgeon, Dr Kunle Babalola who is the head of the Surgery
Department in his remarks, described the project as a responsible
response to the yearnings of the hospital’s theatre users.
His words: “The operating suites now reminded me of my experience in
Austria as FETHI’s Theatre suites are almost approaching the standard
of a Five- Star Hospital.
“This timely project will no doubt impact positively on the training
service delivery and revenue generation of the hospital. For me, it is a
win- win thing.The patients the training and the hospital are the main
beneficiaries,” Babalola noted.
According to him, Professor Ajayi in his mission statement said “I
want to see a hospital where patients can walk in ,and be sure that he
or she is safe because of the availability of contemporary cutting edge
and state of the art medical facilities, right mix of Clinicians across
medical and non- medical fields ,human workforce and friendly
environment. I am longing for a hospital that has patient restoration as
its primary objective and core mandate.”
Mrs Funsho Adelegan, the Head of Human Resources said: “the
insitution under the current leadership has zero tolerance for
indolence and mediocrity. The hospital has never had an inclusive and
robust human and staff capacity development scheme, like we had in 2019.
“The creation of the directorate harpes on the need for strict
adherence to rules. We are dispassionate, ethical and professional in
our ooperations. Health Attendants, Physicians, Information Officers
,Photographers, Nurses Laboratory Scientists and others benefitted
from the board’s benevolence in Staff Capacity Building,” She added.
