Renovation work on Adewole Cottage Hospital, Ilorin, has begun and this is part of efforts aimed at strengthening the primary health care facilities in the State of Harmony, the state Commissioner for Health, Dr. Amina Ahmed El-lmam has submitted.
The commissioner said Adewole Cottage Hospital is one of the healthcare centres that were approved for renovation by the Kwara State Government, adding that construction work is ongoing there with slight service disruptions while urging patience and understanding.
‘One of the disruptions is that we are unable to admit male patients at this time because the ongoing works include roof removal at the male section of the hospital’, the statement said.
The Health Commissioner, however, urged the general public to patronize the hospital, assuring them of quality health care delivery service from the health care workers while adding that ‘renovation work’ is also being carried out at some other secondary health facilities in the state simultaneously.
‘ Renovation work on General Hospital , Patigi is 95% completed, while we have completed the extensive work on the General Hospital, Oro. Cottage Hospital Lade is also 100% completed. Patigi and Lade were also given solar inverters for 24-hour power supply.
We have also activated plans for renovation works on the Cottage Hospitals in Tsaragi and Gbale. In the South, we have our eyes on the General Hospital ,Offa, General Hospital, Erin-Ile, General Hospital ,Omu Aran, General Hospital, Oro-Ago, and a few others’ she said.
The Commissioner added that members of the public, especially patients, may reach out to the Kwara state Hospital Management Board’s 24-Hour patient care/SERVICOM lines through the following telephone lines: 09041417533, 09051559825, and 07040584081
