The Management of Delta State University Teaching Hospital (DELSUTH), led by Dr. Onome Ogueh has debunked the news that its management lamented on a shortage of face masks and others as published on the Punch Newspapers of 6th April, 2020.
The article was titled “DELSUTH Doctors lament shortage of face masks, others”.
In a statement signed by the Director of Clinical Services and Training, Dr N. E. Okolugbo on behalf of the Chief Medical Direct of DELSUTH , the Management noted unequivocally that despite the worldwide shortage of PPE’s, DELSUTH with the support of Delta State Government has had constant supply of face masks, gloves, hand sanitizers and other personal protective equipment which have consistently been made available for use by the staff in this pandemic.
The statements reads: “Management has developed a screening protocol for the COVID-19 in DELSUTH which has been followed strictly with triage centers established at all clinics /ward entrances as well as the main hospital gate. This is to ensure that suspected cases are identified whilst making sure that some form of clinical services delivery continues within the hospital.
“Management is aware that the State Government is planning remuneration for all staff involved in the COVID-19 response team.
“Management is also in the process of discussing with an insurance company to provide cover for staff involved in the COVID-19 response team.
“We expect all hands to be on deck at this critical period and we are counting on all members of staff to support management in this process.
