The University Teaching Hospital (UTH) has completed installing anaesthetic machines in its 18 theatres.
UTH Assistant Public Relations Manager Natalie Mashikolo explained that only 18 anaesthetic machines have been installed out of the 20 that were procured by government.
Mrs. Mashikolo said two of the anaesthetic machines have been kept for future use because UTH only has 18 theatres.
She told ZANIS in an interview today that the machines will improve patients’ care in theatres at the institution.
She said before the 20 anaesthetic machines were bought, the UTH had only a few machines which were not enough for all the theatres.
Anaesthetic machines, which cost between US$15,000 and US$20,000 each, help patients breathe when they are benumbed during surgery in the theatre.
UTH is Zambia’s largest referral hospital.
Why anounce when project is incomplete.
But we need skills development for our doctors too. They are very rude
It’s a step in the right direction may such an exercise be extended to the provincial hospitals please.
@ chiluba FTJ, maybe the skills development should be for the general public who are fond of provoking health workers.
@Chiluba kekekekeke are you suggesting that the UTH doctors get hooked to anesthetic machines so they can calm-down and stop being rude?
Well done President Lungu.
More progress under your watch.
when were these machines purchased? Definitely not after 20th January
Shocking Thats a ward???
God bless you all. One of the best hospitals in Africa. I trained there!
Good. I hope the machines will not go under anaesthesia themselves…
This has nothing to do with Lungu that order was done long before Dizzy came on the scene.
I hope the machines wont move to private hospitals. please engrave them with BIG LETTERS ,UTH, UTH,UTH,UTH……
Even people who are trash at their workplaces, people who just leave their jackets in their offices and go gallivanting, when they go to hospitals, they want to have a go at health workers and accuse them of all sorts of things. People like FTJ Chiluba probably spend only 30minutes of their work day actually working but have the guts to condemn healthcare workers. Healthcare workers are actually the most hardworking civil servants in Zambia yet all they get is insults from dimwits like Chiluba
19th century beds.
