The Governor of Ondo State, Hon. Dr. Lucky Orimisan Aiyedatiwa, has described the newly inaugurated Titilayo Memorial Kidney Care Centre in Owo as a timely and commendable intervention in the state’s health sector.
Speaking through the Chairman of the Ondo State Hospitals Management Board, Dr. Olusegun Victor Ategbole, at the centre’s opening on Saturday, Aiyedatiwa congratulated the founders and management of the facility for their vision and commitment to saving lives.
He noted that kidney disease is one of the growing public health challenges in Nigeria, stressing that the new facility would help reduce the burden on patients and improve access to modern treatment.
According to him, the initiative aligns with the state government’s “EASE” agenda to strengthen access to quality healthcare through modern interventions. He reaffirmed his administration’s passion for transforming the health sector and its resolve to upgrade facilities across the state to meet global standards.
“Titilayo Memorial Kidney Care, with a mission of providing world-class kidney care, complements the state’s ongoing efforts to expand specialist services, reduce medical tourism, and bring advanced treatment closer to our people,” the governor said.
He expressed optimism that the centre would not only serve Owo community but also become a hub of hope for kidney disease patients across Ondo State and beyond.
Aiyedatiwa urged the management of the facility to uphold professionalism, compassion, and excellence as they commence operations, assuring them of the government’s support in the interest of public health.
The governor also congratulated Engineer Kayode Ijalana, his wife, and the Owo community for what he described as a milestone achievement, praying for the continued success of the centre.
