Dr. Anate said the ventilators donated by JAMB in the wake of covid-19 to mitigate the effects of the pandemic have been of great help to
mankind particularly the hospital to consolidate on the gains of the hospital in the management of covid-19 cases and to ameliorate the difficulty in managing other victims with other challenges that required them to be placed on life support.

Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) to take advantage of the facilities provided by the hospital to assess quality healthcare services.
He said: “Staff of JAMB and all Bwari residents, in general, should feel free to access healthcare services in the hospital any time they need to do so.

take proactive measures to protect
themselves against the deadly virus
particularly as it relates to the third wave
