The team from the Ministry of Aviation and Hospital of Turkey visited Ebonyi State on Wednesday, November 17, 2021 to access the work done at the University of Medical Sciences, Uburu, and Ebonyi International Airport.

The team was led by Yasar Ovenc, GMD- Turkish Hospital, and Prof.Dr. Hussein Sert
Chancellor of nile University and member of the Advisory Board of Turkey.

Since then, the University of Medical Sciences has become a reality with medical equipment currently being installed, while everything is ready for its first edition of the registration ceremony billed for December 2021 with the initial admission of students of around 300 to begin academic activities.

The two teams that were visibly happy and satisfied after being led by the Medical Institution and the Ebonyi State International Airport on Wednesday, November 17 and Thursday, November 18, 2021 respectively by Governor David Umahi who explained stage by stage, the different departments of the institution, simply described the project as very monumental.

Departments inspected by visiting teams include; the Cancer Center, the Kidney and Liver Transplant Center, the Ophthalmological Clinic Center, the Departments of Radiography and Scanning, lecture halls, Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences, E-learning Library, Laboratory, Department of Anatomy and Dialyzer Production Center, among others.

It is very interesting to note that, the University of Medical Sciences, Uburu, is the only medical institution in Africa that will soon start producing dialyzers and the Ebonyi State government will have the patent.

Meanwhile, preparations for President Muhammadu Buhari’s visit to commission the world-class Medical Institution and other key projects executed by Governor David Umahi in the state have been underway.
