Edo State Governor, Adams Oshiomhole, has declared that his administration is committed to providing adequate qualitative and affordable healthcare service to the people of the state.
Making the declaration at the opening ceremony of the 36th Annual General Meeting and Scientific Conference organised by Endocrine and Metabolism Society of Nigeria (GMSON) in Benin City, the governor noted that the well-being of the people of the state remains a priority in his administration’s agenda.
The governor, who was represented by the state Commissioner for Health, Dr Aihanuwa Eregie, stated that the theme of Scientific Conference, “Managing Diabetes Mellitus in a resource Poor Setting,” could not have been put together at a better time than now.
He urged participants to utilise the opportunity offered by the conference to acquire up-to-date information for a better healthy living.
In her address, President of EMSON, Professor Feyi Adeyoke, said the management of Diabetes Mellitus in a resource challenged setting is worthy because the complications of Diabetes Mellitus has continued to be an issue in low and middle income areas, where hospital resources continue to dwindle. Adeyoke described the Annual Conference as a celebration of the vibrancy of the work of clinicians and scientists.
She used the occasion to laud the founding fathers of the society for their positive contributions as well as private hospitals laboratories and pharmaceutical companies for their support.
