UCTH’s place in Cross River’s COVID-19 tale
response to the COVID-19 pandemic received a commendation from a seven-man team from the National Centre for Disease Control .
“Beyond these, there is also support like using venues within the hospital and facilitating training. They come to our isolation centre to help in setting up and drawing up protocols. We commend the UCTH and the state government is very grateful for that. We will continue to work together and the state government will continue to support the UCTH in whichever way that is necessary within our capability.
Ikpeme added that most of the seven cases that turned out negative were sent from the UCTH to the NCDC. “We must respect each other and be professional in our dealings. We must respect the boundaries of our professionalism and co-operate to make each profession grow. To paraphrase Dr James Ene Henshaw, that great medical poet now gone beyond, ‘This is our chance’. The patient is our primary concern. We must be courteous, humane, and empathetic in dealing with him or her. He or she must henceforth leave UCTH with a sense of satisfaction and be our advertiser in the larger community”.
To ensure that patients and visitors are properly guided, there is a manned SERVICOM DESK at the entrance of the Hospital which is available for patients and visitors to make inquiries. The SERVICOM Unit has also recently been re-jigged for further efficiency. Pay points have been increased to ten and a central Phlebotomy unit has been set up to provide phlebotomy services for out-patients. Power supply and water supply have improved and is enjoyed 24 hours in strategic departments.
UCTH with no doubts have experienced dramatic improvement in many areas in the last one year; there is power supply with 24 hours power in critical areas such as the Theatres, ICU, Radiology, Casualty wards and improvements in the water supply which is more stable than prior to April 2019.
