The Management of DELSUTH, led by Dr. Onome Ogueh wishes to respond to the news item on the Punch Newspapers of 6th April, 2020. Titled: DELSUTH Doctors lament shortage of facemasks, others.
The Management states unequivocally that despite the worldwide shortage of PPE’s, DELSUTH with the support of Delta State Government has had constant supply of face masks, gloves, hand sanitizers and other personal protective equipment which we have consistently made available for use by our staff during this period.

Management has developed a screening protocol for the COVID 19 in DELSUTH which has been followed strictly with triage centers established at all clinics /ward entrances as well as the main hospital gate. This is to ensure that suspected cases are identified whilst making sure that some form of clinical services delivery continues within the hospital.
Management is aware that the State Government is planning remuneration for all staff involved in the COVID 19 response team.
Management is also in the process of discussing with an insurance company to provide cover for staff involved in the COVID 19 response team.
We expect all hands to be on deck at this critical period and we are counting on all members of staff to support management in this process.
