PRESS RELEASE!!!! PRESS RELEASE!!!
From the Office of the P.R.O.
The University of Port-Harcourt Teaching Hospital, is a known center for Excellence, a citadel of training, research and health care delivery.
The University of Port-Harcourt Teaching Hospital is an institution, where world’s best medical standards are practiced and maintained, which also has helped made the institution one of the best medical center in the South-south and Nigeria at large.
However, it is quite saddening that certain persons try to tarnish the image of the hospital by spreading false messages that are inaccurate.
Our attention has been drawn to a story of the fourteen (14) to Nineteen (19) babies dying in the hospital, this is not correct. We did not record any infant mortality in our SCBU (inborn and outborn) as a result of our electrical power outage, due to the faulty transformer, during which the standby Generator serviced the hospital for the period, with all emergency areas fully powered.
Surgeries were never cancelled, neither were our services disrupted.
The management of UPTH frowns seriously at such scandalous social media propaganda that is damaging it’s image.
We want the general public to know that we remain committed in our service to humanity.
BEST REGARDS!
