SUCCESSFUL DELIVERY, INSTALLATION, AND COMMISSIONING OF FIVE (5) INFANT INCUBATORS AT THE DEPARTMENT OF PAEDIATRICS, FEDERAL TEACHING HOSPITAL (FTH), FORMER FMC, OWERRI, IMO STATE
Yesterday, Engr. Charles and I were at the Department of Paediatrics, Federal Teaching Hospital (FTH), Owerri, Imo State to deliver and successfully install five (5) infant incubators.The project marks valuable step forward in enhancing neonatal care and ensuring the well-being of newborns in the South- Eastern region.The incubators were strategically distributed across the department to maximize their impact.
Three (3) incubators were installed in the Inpatient Unit, ensuring that critically ill newborns and preterm babies receive the highest standard of care.
Two (2) incubators were placed in the Outpatient Unit, providing essential support for neonates requiring immediate attention and stabilization.
The achievement would not have been possible without the support and collaboration of these respectable key stakeholders. I extend my heartfelt gratitude to:
Dr. Sir. Achigbu Kingsley, Chief Medical Director (CMD), Federal Teaching Hospital, Owerri, for his visionary leadership and support for this project.
Rev. Dr. Chinedu Iloh, Head of Procurement, Federal Teaching Hospital, Owerri, for his key role in the acquisition and delivery of the incubators.
Dr. Mrs. Chinyere, Head of the Paediatric Department, for her dedication to improving neonatal care and her support during the installation and commissioning process.
The dedicated team of doctors, matrons, nurses, and support staff who assisted to ensure the success of this project.
These incubators represent a critical investment in the health and future of our youngest patients. They are equipped with advanced features to regulate temperature, humidity, and oxygen levels, creating a safe and controlled environment for vulnerable newborns. This development will undoubtedly reduce neonatal mortality rates and improve overall outcomes for infants in the region.
Thank you for your patronageš.
