The Senator representing Delta Central in the National Assembly, Sen. Ede Dafinone, has donated several medical items and equipment to the Sapele Central Hospital in Delta State to enhance the facility’s capacity to provide quality care to the people.
The Senator’s intervention followed his earlier meeting with the hospital’s matrons on June 7, 2025, during which they highlighted several pressing challenges being faced by the hospital, and which he pledged to help address.
Consequently, Senator Dafinone at the weekend delivered to the hospital several units of oxygen gauges, stretchers, manual and digital blood pressure monitors, electrical suction machines, and electronic patient monitors.
He reaffirmed his commitment to supporting the improvements the healthcare system urgently needs, as he recalled that the hospital management also requested renovations and critical infrastructure upgrades.
“I assure you that one or more of these priority projects will be captured in the 2026 proposals through my office.
“Quality healthcare is not a privilege; it is a fundamental right. We will continue working together to ensure that our hospitals meet the standards our people deserve”, he informed the hospital management.
Last weekend’s generous donation by Senator Dafinone comes on the heels of a recent healthcare outreach he organized for thousands of residents of Delta Central senatorial zone.
The Senator Ede Dafinone Medical Outreach in partnership with the National Health Fellows of Delta Central, had last month concluded eighth phases of humanitarian/medical interventions across the eight Local Government Areas of Delta Central Senatorial District.
The participants directly benefited from services such as diabetes testing, blood pressure checks, free medical consultations, and medications; while hundreds of persons received free reading glasses through the support of the Clinton Health Access Initiative (CHAI). The Okiero Anthony Okoro Development Foundation (OAODF) also screened others for tuberculosis and provided free treatment.
