Hakeem Enatto, lamented the poor management acumen of Prof. Reuben and the heavy consequences of his lame leadership.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\u00a0He threatened legal action should the CMD stays put as the facility&#8217;s number one man.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>&#8220;I want to\u00a0 call on the Minister of Health and Social welfare, Professor Muhammad Ali Pate to prevail on the CMD of\u00a0 Irrua specialist Hospital to\u00a0 resign immediately. We implore the Minister to outrightly sack him if he ignores his resignation call.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>His offenses are\u00a0 gross misconduct, inefficiency and outright negligence .<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>&#8221; The way he has managed the hospital has led to massive lose of\u00a0 patients that ought not to have died&#8221;<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>The CMD, a Professor of Obstetrics and Gynaecology was appointed precisely on the 26th day of February, 2024 by\u00a0 President Bola Ahmed Tinubu GCFR.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\u00a0According to Bar. Enatto, over 36 premature babies\u00a0 \u00a0died within three days in the hospital&#8217;s incubator as a result of power failure.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>&#8220;Our concerns at HEF are: How can Irrua specialist Hospital not have\u00a0 back up power supply? Was money budgeted for this?<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>&#8220;When you do not have what it takes to keep or care for such babies, why admit them\u00a0 in the first place? Is it to deliberately allow the babies to die after collecting money from their parents?<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>&#8220;If the hospital&#8217;s incubators are not working or simply have no guaranteed power supply, why admit them into the\u00a0 incubators leaving them to cruel fate?<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>&#8220;Is it that you cannot afford a power generating set , solar power system or inverters?&#8221;<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>He continues, &#8220;Were the babies used for some kind of\u00a0 experiment?<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>&#8220;Mr CMD,\u00a0 why would you allow such bizarre thing to happen in a federal government renowned health facility?<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>&#8220;I know of an eye witness who lost his twin babies at the hospital even though he was able to get the hospital a private generator\u00a0 hired by him.\u00a0 There are so many<\/div>\n<div>\u00a0whose names I cannot mention here. They all lost their premature babies.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>&#8220;From the above narrative, it could be concluded that the CMD, has no capacity or the knowhow to run such an important health facility. We therefore demand his immediate resignation or sack. By all means , he should be relieved of his duties as CMD Irrua Specialist Hospital.&#8221;<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>The Foundation also reckoned that the CMD<\/div>\n<div>abdicated his duties because, all attempts made to reach him or any other doctor via their hospital telephone number&#8221; has proved abortive. The number , displayed below is supposed to be the official number of the hospital (0706 048.\u00a0 3732)<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>&#8220;We at HEF would wish to categorically state that if nothing is done fast\u00a0 by the Government, we shall have no choice other than take legal action against the CMD and any other body or authority in Irrua specialist Hospital mentioned in this unacceptable conduct.&#8221;<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mail-message-footer spacer collapsible\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Oscar Okhifo The Hakeem Enatto Foundation (HEF) has called on the Chief\u00a0 Medical\u00a0 Director (CMD) of Irrua Specialist Hospital Irrua Edo State, Prof. Reuben Eifediyi to resign immediately over&hellip;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":117967,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-117966","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
