 BENUE HOSPITAL SET TO BEGIN SCARLESS SURGERIES




The Benue State University Teaching Hospital has said that it is set to begin scarless surgeries having fully equipped its theatre with all necessary machines.


The Chief Medical Director of the hospital, Dr. Stephen Hwande, disclosed this to the media at a news briefing on Monday.


Hwande said the decision was also based on the improved manpower of the hospital.


He said: “We have developed our theatre fully for minimal access surgery or endoscopic surgeries. 


“We will also start it in the public sector. 


“Minimal access, like the name goes, you don’t cut people open, you just go in like a pin and you will carry out extensive surgery, which is the same as cutting people wide open.


“So we have already acquired the equipment for the surgery and it is fully installed in our theatre and we have entered into collaboration with the Association of Endoscopic Gynaecology Surgeons. 


“And the first batch of this activity for gynae will be in the month of April. 


“That’s 15 of April and above.


“The recruitment of the patients will be from the teaching hospital and other hospitals around. 


“It’s also going to train surgeons, gynaecologists, and those that have interest from other hospitals will also be trained in this minimal access/endoscopic surgeries.


“So cases like fibroid, ovarian cyst, among others would now be done for patients who do not want open surgery.


“You can now have the minimal access surgery done in the teaching hospital now.


“The recruitment process is already on and the work of the media is to ensure that the person in Otukpo, Gboko and elsewhere that wants minimal access and doesn’t want scars get this information. 


“So this is almost like a scarless surgery. 


“Tell those people to come and register with us preparatory for surgery.”


Hwande said the Benue State Governor, Hyacinth Alia, had also subsidised the cost for In-vitro Fertilisation at the hospital for those having fertility issues to use the opportunity and have their own children.


He said: “We have already recruited 25 women with infertility for In-vitro Fertilisation services of the hospital. 


“So the hospital’s first batch of IVF will be in April to May and 25 women have been recruited. 


“We are going to run that at the Muhammadu Buhari annex and the governor has directed that the services should be subsidised for these women in this first batch.


“Usually, IVF processes are very expensive and for us to start in the public sector, in the whole country, you may not find up to five teaching hospitals that are involved in IVF. 


“So with this, the BSUTH will soon be put on the map of teaching hospitals that are involved in IVF.”

  SSANU, NASU threaten strike over withheld salaries The Joint Action Committee of the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities and the Non-Academic Staff Union of Educational and Associated Institutions have threatened to disrupt industrial peace in universities should the government fail to release the withheld salaries of members. The salaries were seized by the administration of former President Muhammadu Buhari during their strike in 2022. The unions, in a joint letter signed on Friday by the President of SSANU, Muhammed Ibrahim and General Secretary of NASU, Peters Adeyemi, questioned the rationale with which the government released four months withheld salaries to members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities but failed to release the withheld salaries of non-academic staff. The unions noted that they would no longer be able to assure the government of industrial peace in universities should the amounts owed by the government are not released. Earlier, the uni...
