Federal government allocates N2.1bn to revive OAUTHC renal programme

The federal government has allocated N2.1 billion to the Obafemi Awolowo University Teaching Hospitals Complex (OAUTHC) in Ile-Ife to revive its renal replacement programme, Chief Medical Director Prof. John Okeniyi said. He announced the allocation during the hospital’s 50th anniversary celebration and said the planned revival is part of President Bola Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda. Former Osun State Deputy Governor Iyiola Omisore called for greater support for healthcare initiatives, while Seyi Tinubu said health achievements should be judged by whether ordinary Nigerians can access care, afford medicines and recover.
