President Goodluck Jonathan on Tuesday commissioned the newly completed Dialysis Centre at the Defence Intelligence Agency (DIA), Abuja.
According to him, the centre will go a long way to assist in the treatment of kidney disease among the members of the armed forces and the public.
He said: “Let me first congratulate the Chief of Defence Intelligence for what he has done today. I was here last year to commission the office complex and it was quite a befitting edifice. That was completed by your predecessor, I guess.
I always believe that when somebody takes office he should add value to it.”
“You have provided this facility, a dialysis centre that will be used by the Defence Intelligence community and of course the extended armed forces which we all appreciate so much.”
“Within this period whenever you looked at the television screen there were always complaints about people who have kidney problems.
The first level of intervention is dialysis before you talk about kidney transplant which is more expensive.”
He noted that dialysis centres were very few in the country and that many people who would have lived a little longer had died prematurely.
The President hoped that the centre will not only take care of staff and members of the armed forces, but also extended to the rest of the Abuja community.
He said: “That is something that we must commend you for. I thank you for this noble gesture, we will work with you and assist your establishment to succeed.”
“My chief personal physician checked this dialysis center this morning and said that already you are collaborating with the State House medical team and that is quite impressive.” Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday
