In the Shadow of COVID-19, a Massive Upgrade for Enugu Hospitals
Given its high-density location, a typical day at Poly General Hospital, Enugu, often involves a steady stream of patients that leaves healthcare workers with hardly any moment of respite. From mothers seeking ante- or post-natal care to those visiting the facility in search of solution to sundry ailments, no one who has ever been to this hospital would doubt the health ministry’s record that it is the second busiest healthcare facility in Enugu State.
Nothing in recent history has exposed the vulnerabilities of public healthcare globally, and reinforced the imperative of creating a robust response to pandemics as Covid-19 has done. It was thus remarkably prescient that the governor began the extensive rehabilitation of public health facilities in Enugu State several months before the outbreak.
On an unscheduled visit to Oji River General Hospital, the governor had observed that the outbreak of Covid-19 has necessitated a paradigm shift in public health management and funding.
