”We will be hopefully supplying the latest technology; State of Art Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Unit, and Slice CT Scan that will position the centre among the best in the area of CT-scanning possibilities in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Saade, the CT Scan has the potential and capacity to do specific advance scannings including advanced Digital X-Ray System Mammography and Ultrasound units.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saade commended the Governor on his approach on the supply of the equipment by initiating a very long term warranty plan of two to five years in order to make sure that the systems are well in place and always functional for the rest of the contract period which is 60 months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He further commended the state government for partnership in local capacity building by allowing the company to train local people to be able to also service those units on sight and not only the company or the manufacturers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

”This is, in my opinion the best and a leading approach globally in the supply of medical equipment which we must comply with; we will do it openly and very happily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

”Hopefully, in the next three to four months our systems would be up and running in this hospital and the local population will take advantage of those advance medical imaging equipment that Kogi Government is planning to to install here”, Saade said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Special Adviser to the Governor on Health Matters, Pharm. Clement Amedu, commended the governor for embarking on people based projects at the grassroots, and called for prayer for him to sustain the gesture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On her parts, Mrs Rose Iyioma, the Acting Permanent Secretary, Kogi Ministry of Health, commended the governor and the commissioner for the execution of the gigantic projects for the benefits of the people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr Onoja Ibrahim, the Managing Director, od the Central Reference Hospital, thanked the governor for the gesture, saying it is a ‘time enduring legacy’ for the benefits of the people of Kogi central, the state and Nigeria at large.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
