Osibogun, who disclosed this in an interview in Lagos, said the new training programme would enable the resident doctors to acquire skills that would be beneficial to the patients.
According to him, the hospital has started acquiring state-of-the-art equipment and has also succeeded in building a sophisticated surgical centre that will facilitate training of health workers in the hospital. “By starting new programmes, by improving on our infrastructure and the facilities and by acquiring equipment, it means that new procedures and more procedures can be carried out in the hospital. “And, as you carry out more procedures and new procedures, then you are improving on training opportunities, because we cannot train residents, if we do not have many procedures being carried out.
“We have also acquired other equipment, like the laparoscopic equipment for pinhole surgery or minimally invasive surgery.
“The equipment is on ground, the facilities are on ground, and so, the training of residents is going to rapidly improve.
“I will also let you know that we have developed one of the most sophisticated surgical skill centres in the country.
“That surgical skill centre is ready. It has laparoscopic towers for training of residents and other health workers.
“So, this year, we are going full blast in terms of service provision as well as training of resident doctors and other health workers to ensure that we continue to facilitate the transfer of skills.''
