Mbah Invests N500m to Upgrade Enugu Teaching Hospital

The administration of Governor Peter Ndubuisi Mbah has installed new surgical equipment and upgraded medical facilities valued at over N500 million at the Enugu State University Teaching Hospital (ESUTH), Parklane, Enugu. This initiative is part of efforts to transform ESUTH into a world-class tertiary healthcare and specialist training center, with the goal of making it one of Nigeria's best teaching hospitals.

Chief Medical Director Prof. Bethrand Ngwu announced the upgrades during an inspection, highlighting improvements in the main theatre, Accident and Emergency Department, and specialized equipment for complex surgeries. The upgrades aim to enhance patient care, particularly in emergencies, and support postgraduate medical training and accreditation from the National Postgraduate Medical College and the West African College of Surgeons.

The new facilities will allow emergency patients to receive immediate treatment and specialized procedures, including neurosurgery, with the addition of new operating tables and ventilators. ESUTH has also achieved several accreditation successes since 2023.
