UPTH opens specialised theatre for children surgery

The University of Port Harcourt Teaching Hospital has commissioned an operating theatre dedicated to children’s surgery.

Alasia noted that by the gesture of the International organization, the dedicated kids’ operating theatre alleviates competition for theatre space, allowing for the equipment and resources which are tailored to meet the unique needs of children, get to them while ensuring a world-class surgical experience.

According to Ogundigpe, “Children with clefts often face stigma, unable to attend school or make friends. Yet, treatment is a simple 45-minute surgery with immediate transformation.” She added that the unveiling highlights the need for increased access to safe and timely surgery, particularly in low- and middle-income countries where an estimated 2 billion children lack access to surgical care.
