“They must be carefully integrated into our medium and long-term national and sub-national development policies and plans. It is in recognition of this that we are supporting the 36 states and the FCT on SDG-Based Development Planning,” she said. “They include among others – two operating theatres, recovery rooms, private and general wards, scanning room, consultation rooms and laboratory. Others include ultra-scan machine, vacuum extractor delivery set and an emergency cart with full compliments.
