DELTA STATE 

KUDOS DR JOSEPH ONOJAEME....Oborevwori Approves Recruitment of Over 700 Health Workers in Delta......SEE THE ADVERT

 



Delta State Governor, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori, has approved the recruitment of over 700 medical and non-medical personnel as part of a deliberate effort to strengthen healthcare delivery across Delta State.



The State Commissioner for Health, Dr. Joseph Onojaeme, who disclosed this during a press briefing, said the approval underscores the administration’s sustained commitment to expanding the health sector in line with ongoing infrastructural upgrades.


He explained that the recruitment became necessary due to increased demand for healthcare services following major developments, including the upgrade of General Hospital Warri to a Central Hospital and the near-completion of the Mother and Child Hospital in Ekpan. 


“This approval reflects the government’s proactive approach to ensuring that our health facilities are adequately staffed to meet the growing needs of our population,” Onojaeme stated.


Providing a breakdown, he said 295 personnel would be deployed to the Hospital Management Board, while the Delta State University Teaching Hospital would absorb 120 staff. 


The newly established College of Health Technology, Ovrode, is expected to recruit 100 personnel, with Asaba Specialist Hospital and Warri Central Hospital receiving 60 and 12 staff respectively.


The Commissioner noted that the exercise is also designed to mitigate the effects of the ongoing migration of healthcare professionals, popularly known as the “Japa syndrome,” which has created workforce gaps across the sector.


He added that the government’s standing directive to replace exiting personnel has helped maintain operational stability within the system.


Onojaeme further highlighted ongoing efforts to address critical gaps, including the establishment of a State Public Health Laboratory, which is nearing completion. 


He recalled that during the COVID-19 pandemic, samples had to be sent to Abuja due to the absence of such a facility in the State.


According to him, a new psychiatric hospital currently under construction will further expand healthcare services and require additional skilled manpower.


On medical technology, the Commissioner revealed that the government has procured three 1.5 Tesla MRI machines, noting that the helium-free systems are more cost-effective and easier to maintain compared to older models.


He also pointed to significant investments in dialysis infrastructure, which have reduced treatment costs to as low as ₦45,000 in some facilities, with further reductions possible through additional interventions.


Onojaeme assured that the recruitment process would be transparent and merit-based, with vacancies to be advertised in national and local dailies.


He said the positions would cover a wide range of professionals, including consultants, doctors, nurses, pharmacists, laboratory scientists, physiotherapists, health technologists, administrators, and support staff.


The initiative, he emphasized, is expected to enhance service delivery and improve health outcomes across the State.




A BIG SUCCESS....SEE OMIWA FOUNDATION IN UKWU-NZU

 


The two-day medical outreach conducted on March 21st and 22nd, 2026, in Ukwu-Nzu by Omiwa Foundation USA represents a significant and impactful intervention in community healthcare delivery, targeted at addressing unmet medical needs in a semi-rural Nigerian population.




Overview of the Outreach

The outreach was strategically organized as a free, comprehensive healthcare program spanning two consecutive days, with the primary objective of improving access to quality medical services among underserved residents of Ukwu-Nzu and neighboring communities. Over the course of the outreach, a total of 309 patients were attended to, reflecting both a high disease burden and limited access to routine healthcare services in the area.




Clinical and Diagnostic Services Rendered

The outreach was structured to provide holistic and patient-centered care, integrating preventive, diagnostic, and therapeutic services. Key components included:

  • General Medical Consultations: Patients presented with a wide range of clinical conditions, including febrile illnesses (notably malaria), respiratory tract infections, gastrointestinal disturbances, dermatological conditions, and musculoskeletal disorders. In addition, chronic diseases such as hypertension and diabetes mellitus were actively identified and managed.

  • Screening and Vital Signs Assessment: All patients underwent baseline clinical evaluation, including measurement of blood pressure, temperature, pulse rate, and random blood glucose levels. This facilitated the identification of previously undiagnosed cases of hypertension and abnormal glycemic states.



  • Point-of-Care Laboratory Investigations: Diagnostic support was provided through the use of rapid tests such as  glucose testing  ensuring prompt and evidence-based treatment decisions.



  • Pharmaceutical Care: Essential medications were dispensed at no cost to patients, accompanied by detailed counseling on drug adherence, dosing schedules, and possible adverse effects. Commonly prescribed medications included antimalarials, antibiotics, antihypertensives, analgesics, and hematinics.



  • Health Education and Preventive Counseling: Patients received tailored education on hygiene practices, nutrition, disease prevention strategies, and lifestyle modifications. Emphasis was placed on the prevention of communicable diseases and the long-term management of non-communicable conditions.


Epidemiological Observations

Findings from the outreach highlighted a dual burden of disease within the community. Malaria emerged as the most prevalent condition, consistent with endemic transmission patterns. Notably, there was a significant detection of previously undiagnosed hypertension, reinforcing its characterization as a “silent killer.” Cases of uncontrolled diabetes, untreated infections, and nutritional deficiencies were also observed, indicating gaps in continuous and preventive healthcare access.


Public Health Impact

The outreach had a profound impact on the health and well-being of the Ukwu-Nzu population. By delivering free, accessible, and quality healthcare services, the initiative reduced immediate morbidity, enhanced early












































disease detection, and promoted preventive health behaviors.

In addition, the program strengthened community awareness regarding the importance of regular health check-ups and early presentation to healthcare facilities. It also provided valuable epidemiological insights that can guide future healthcare planning and targeted interventions.


Conclusion

The successful execution of the March 21st–22nd, 2026 medical outreach by Omiwa Foundation USA underscores the vital role of non-governmental organizations in bridging healthcare delivery gaps in underserved communities. Attending to over 309 patients within a limited timeframe demonstrates a high level of clinical efficiency, organization, and dedication to humanitarian service.

Sustained outreach programs of this nature remain essential in reducing disease burden, improving health outcomes, and advancing equitable access to healthcare across Nigeria.
