Ekiti distributes protective kits to hospitals

The Ekiti State Government has procured and distributed Personal Protective Kits (PPK) to all the specialist and general hospitals in the state.

This is part of efforts aimed at protecting health workers as well as preventing the spread of infectious diseases in the state.

Items distributed to three specialist hospitals and 17 general hospitals include recyclable overalls, disposable overalls, respiration masks, aprons and rubber gloves.

Others are examination gloves, boot covers, sodium hypochante and safety goggles.

Distributing the items to the hospitals, the Permanent Secretary, Hospital Management Board, Kolawole Aina, reiterated the commitment of the state government to healthcare delivery.

Aina stressed government’s resolve to leave no stone unturned towards ensuring the protection of people in the state, adding that keeping the Ebola virus out of the state would not be compromised.

He urged health workers to make judicious use of the items distributed, emphasising the need to exhibit positive attitude to their work in order to achieve efficiency and effectiveness.
