…Worry over disconnection of health facilitiesThe Joint Health Sector Unions in collaboration with the Assembly of Healthcare Professional Association has expressed worry over the recent disconnection of Federal Health Institutions, FHIs, ivory towers and research institutes, calling for a waiver policy in the payment of electricity bills for such organisations.

The letter jointly signed by JOHESU’s National Chairman, Dr. Kabiru Ado Minjibir and the National Secretary of the association, Comrade Martin Egbanubi and titled: “Addressing the Power Needs of the FHIs, Research Institutes and Citadels of Learning in Nigeria.” The letter reads in parts, “It is the reality and norm that hospitals which stock drugs and other radiopharmaceuticals, laboratory reagents, consumables, mortuary facilities and so on definitely require constant power supply to maintain the potency of these sensitive health commodities.

“The scenarios highlighted above are similar to expectations in research institutes especially in the health sector which must power their plethora of laboratory facilities which indulge in drug formulations and discovery, research into clinical disease states, food production, quality control and assurance as well as a wide range of other detailed research.
