Oni, who explained that the School of Nursing and Midwifery, Ado-Ekiti could not presently meet the admission requirement of the people of the state said government would totally transform  the general hospitals at Ise-and Emure preparatory for the take-off  of the proposed School of Midwifery at Orun-Ekiti. According to him, new structures would be constructed in the two general hospitals while existing structures would be rehabilitated and additional infrastructures and personnel provided to ensure a smooth take-off of the new school.

While commending Akindahunsi for taking the first step towards transforming the general hospital Ise into a full-fledged secondary heath institution, the governor urged all political appointees in the state to emulate the gesture of the federal legislator by making positive contributions to their constituencies.

He disclosed that his administration had so far expended over N1.7 billion on provision of infrastructure and equipment in some 115 Primary Health Centres in the state which were designated as Blue Centres.

The governor who revealed that the government was committing another N1 billon to increase the number of Blue Centres to 218 said the aim of the initiative was to make health care accessible and affordable to the citizenry as well as to reduce maternal and child mortality rate in the state to barest minimum.
