Sen. Dr. Ibrahim Yahya Oloriegbe yesterday, on the floor of the Senate
I presented for consideration, two separate reports of the Senate Committee on Health (Secondary and Tertiary) under my chairmanship, on the bills which sought to amend the *Orthopaedic Hospitals Management Board Act Can 010 LFN 2004 (Amendment) Bill, 2022,* to provide for the establishment of two Federal Orthopaedic Hospitals in Kwara and Osun States, and another bill, *University Teaching Hospitals (Reconstitution of Boards, etc) Act, 2004 (Amendment) Bill, 2022* seeking for the establishment of two Federal University Teaching Hospitals in Akure and Gusau, respectively.

During my presentation, I explained that the bill designed to amend the Orthopaedic Hospitals Management Board Act was to provide for the establishment of the Orthopaedic Hospital Patigi; and Orthopaedic Hospital Obokun, Osun State.

While highlighting the advantages of the bill, I enunciated that the Federal Orthopaedic Hospital, when established in Patigi, Kwara State and Obokun, Osun State, will provide services such as diagnosis and treatment from traumatic events such as accidental falls, car accidents, sports injuries and other emergencies.

“It will also bring healthcare closer to the people at reduced costs compared to private hospitals and drastically reduce health tourism.

“In addition to the above advantages, it will deter patients from patronising traditional bonesetters who enjoy patronage in the absence of a specialised orthopaedic hospital.

“The orthopaedic hospitals will be affiliated to the University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital, Kwara State and the Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile Ife, Osun State to provide specialised orthopaedic treatment and medical services.”

During my presentation of the second bill, I submitted that the amendment to the University Teaching Hospitals Act sought to provide for the establishment of the Federal University of Technology Akure Teaching Hospital; and the Federal University Gusau Teaching Hospital.

I also drew attention to other provisions of the bill which involve the amendment of the First Schedule to the Principal Act to include and give legal backing to the Federal University Teaching Hospital, Lafia.

As a sequel to the deliberation that followed the presentation of the reports, the bills, were passed by the Senate.
