Kwara Govt Renovates, Expands Cottage Hospital Adewole Amid Statewide Renewal of Facilities
The Kwara State Government has announced the commencement of the expansion of Adewole Cottage Hospital, Ilorin, as part of efforts to strengthen the primary health care facilities in the state.
The Commissioner for Health, Dr. Amina Ahmed El-lmam, made this known today while interacting with the media crew of the Ministry.
This is contained in a statement signed by Gbenga Falade, Press Secretary,
Ministry of Health, and made available to newsmen in Ilorin.
According to her, Adewole Cottage Hospital is one of the health care centres that were approved for renovation by the State Government, pointing out that the construction works are going on with slight disruptions to service delivery and calling for understanding.
“One of the disruptions is that we are unable to admit male patients at this time because the ongoing works include removing of the roof in the male section of the hospital,” the statement said.
She urged the general public to patronise the hospital, assuring them of quality health care delivery service from the health care workers.
She added that the works at the Adewole Cottage Hospital come amid other ongoing renovation or related works in some other secondary facilities in other parts of the state.
“General Hospital Patigi is 95% renovated, while we have completed the extensive work on General Hospital in Oro. Cottage Hospital Lade is also 100% renovated. Patigi and Lade were also given solar inverters for 24-hour power supply,” the statement added.
“We also have activated plans for renovation works at Cottage Hospital Tsaragi and Gbale. In the South, we have our eyes on General Hospital Offa, General Hospital Erin-Ile, General Hospital Omu Aran, General Hospital Oro-Ago, and a few others.”
