‎
‎Speaking on behalf of the Chief Executive Officer, the Director of Medical Affairs, Prof. Alhassan Abdul-Mumin, assured staff of management’s commitment to the continuous retooling and modernisation of the hospital’s theatres.

‎
‎He explained that the investment forms part of broader efforts to provide healthcare professionals with the appropriate medical infrastructure and equipment needed to deliver safe, efficient and quality healthcare to patients.
‎
‎Prof. Abdul-Mumin further tasked the hospital’s Biomedical Engineering Unit to strictly adhere to the manufacturer’s recommended maintenance schedule for the operating bed to ensure its optimal performance and prolong its lifespan.

‎
‎On behalf of the orthopaedic team, Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon Prof. Alexis Dunbo-Ib Buunaaim expressed appreciation to management for the intervention.
‎
‎According to him, the acquisition of the state-of-the-art operating bed would enable the orthopaedic team to undertake a higher number of surgical procedures while improving the quality, safety and efficiency of operations.
