Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke has said that his administration will continue to prioritize the health of the Osun people, pledging to do everything within his reach to ensure people of the state enjoy all-around health care delivery.

The Governor said this yesterday while hosting the management of Osun State University Teaching Hospital. He said he is passionate about the health of his people, and this was why he approved the purchase of medical equipment to enhance sound health delivery for residents of the State. Adeleke further commended the Doctors for the successful completion of the first Imole Medical Outreach across the 9 Constituencies of the State, adding that it is a continuous exercise. He then declared that his door is always wide open for ideas that can help the progress of the State.

Speaking earlier, the Chief Medical Director of the Hospital, Prof. Peter Olaitan, who led other management teams, said the courtesy visit was intended to thank the Governor for his kind gesture in acceding to their requests.

He appreciated him for approving allowances for them such as hazard allowance and others, noting that this was why they refused to embark on industrial action during the last strike embarked upon by medical Doctors in the Country.

Prof. Olaitan equally eulogized the State Helmsman for the approval given to them to employ more qualified personnel to fill the existing vacancies and for the smooth running of the hospital. The Uniosun Teaching Hospital boss however appealed to the Governor to assist by giving them capital funds to run the hospital, saying the hospital is the pick of all medical centres in Osun.
