As part of policy to stem the tide of medical tourism, the Igbinedion University Teaching Hospital, on Monday, commissioned a multi-million naira diagnostic centre.

The 24 hours state-of-the-art diagnostic centre is expected to improve the quality of healthcare delivery within and outside Edo State.

In his remarks, the Chancellor of the University, Gabriel Igbinedion, said the continuous efforts at expanding the frontiers of the teaching hospital informed the idea of setting up the world class radiological and laboratory centre. The chancellor of the university, who said the dream to establish the diagnostic centre started about two years ago, assured that the management would continue to contribute its quota to improving the health of the people of the state.

He added that, as part of investment in the health sector, he has since partnered with the Edo State Health Insurance Scheme by sponsoring thousands of indigent persons and directed all his staff in the university, teaching hospital and other establishments under the Igbinedion Business empire to key into the programme without delay.
