The Kwara State Government has presented hospital and medical equipment to the clinic at the State University, Osi Campus, as part of its ongoing commitment to providing quality and accessible healthcare services to all.

While presenting the items, the Executive Secretary of the Kwara State Primary Health Care Development Agency (KWSPHCDA), Professor Nusirat Elelu, reaffirmed the government's dedication to building a healthy Kwara through sustained investment in primary health care infrastructure and human resources.

She commended the state governor for his visionary leadership and deliberate efforts to ensure equitable access to quality healthcare services across the 16 Local Government Areas of the State. Professor Elelu noted that the strategic reforms and interventions of the current administration in the health sector have begun to yield measurable results, as reflected in the State's outstanding performance in national health indices.

According to her, the State has emerged as the winner of the Primary Health Care Leadership Challenge for three consecutive years, ranked first in the North Central Zone in health preparedness, and has been recognised as one of the best states in Nigeria to have a baby due to significantly low maternal and child mortality rates.

"These recognitions are not accidental; they are the result of intentional policies, continuous training and retraining of health workers, improved supervision, and sustained recruitment to ensure more hands are on deck in delivering quality care to our people," she stated.

She assured residents that the Agency, which is tasked with coordinating and supervising primary health care services across the State, will continue to provide leadership in implementing policies, programmes, and reforms aimed at strengthening service delivery in line with national standards and global best practices.

Receiving the equipment on behalf of the University, the Head of the Osi Campus and Dean of Environmental Sciences, Professor Binta Suleiman, expressed appreciation to the State Government for its swift response to the institution's request.

She described the intervention as timely and impactful, noting that the prompt approval and delivery of the medical equipment demonstrate the administration's genuine concern for the health and wellbeing of students and staff.

Professor Suleiman pledged the university's continued support and cooperation with the State Government and KWSPHCDA, affirming the institution's readiness to collaborate in advancing healthcare delivery within the campus and surrounding communities.

The equipment presented includes hospital beds with mattresses, centrifuge machines, waiting area chairs, laboratory test tubes, sphygmomanometers, clinical uniforms, cotton wool, medical footwear, bedsheets, pillows, and other essential medical supplies.
