The Nigeria Union of Journalists, NUJ, Ondo State Council, has raised the alarm over the current state of the health sector in the state, lamenting that facilities across state government-owned hospitals are deteriorating.

While emphasizing that the situation requires immediate attention from the state government, the union urged Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa to, as a matter of urgency, declare a state of emergency in the sector.

According to the NUJ, in a communiqué issued at the end of its monthly congress, which was presided over by the Chairman, Leke Adegbite, Aiyedatiwa should endeavor to pay an unscheduled visit to the state-owned medical facilities to assess the situation firsthand.

The union further stressed that the deteriorating conditions have subjected patients seeking healthcare to traumatic experiences, particularly due to the location of the mortuary opposite the Outpatient Department (OPD, which is also close to the emergency unit of UNIMEDTH.

With the union frowning upon the public sale of coffins on the premises of the University of Medical Sciences Teaching Hospital (UNIMEDTH), Akure Annex, it called for the relocation of the casket shop, operated by a private entity, away from the hospital to prevent psychological distress among patients.

“The Congress noted with empathy the deteriorating health facilities across the state and the trauma patients endure in accessing quality and affordable healthcare services, calling on the state governor to declare a state of emergency in the health sector.

“That Ondo NUJ notes with dismay the flagrant and public sale of coffins/caskets on the premises of the UNIMEDTH, Akure Annex mortuary, directly opposite the Outpatient Department (OPD) and close to the Emergency Unit of the UNIMED Teaching Hospital (Akure Annex/FUTA Teaching Hospital).”
