Delta State Enhances Healthcare with New MRI Machines

Under the leadership of Delta State Governor Sheriff Oborevwori, the healthcare sector has seen notable advancements. Chief Press Secretary Sir Festus Ahon highlighted the procurement of three 1.5-Tesla, helium-free MRI machines, located at Asaba Specialist Hospital, Central Hospital in Warri, and Delta State University Teaching Hospital in Oghara.

This initiative aims to enhance diagnostic capabilities, reducing the need for patients to seek services outside the state. In March 2026, Delta Commissioner for Health Dr. Joseph Onojaeme confirmed the acquisition of these MRI machines, which are crucial for addressing diagnostic needs.

Additionally, the state has expanded its CT-scan capacity with the installation of 32-slice and 64-slice CT scanners at Central Hospital, Warri, and DELSUTH, Oghara. The administration also invested in eight dialysis machines and implemented measures to lower dialysis treatment costs, making it more affordable for kidney patients.
