Why General Hospitals Can’t Deliver – Parkera
Rivers State Health
Commissioner, Dr. Sampson Tamunoiyoriari Parker, says poor work attitude of workers is responsible for the inability of some General Hospitals to deliver in the secondary health care system.
Dr Parker stated this recently while playing host to the Association of Heads of Government Hospitals in his office in Port Harcourt.
He said, the Ministry whose primary function was to regulate health care delivery in the State also handles the accreditation of public and private hospitals.
The Commissioner frowned at a situation whereby doctors absent themselves from duties without reasonable excuse and reminded them that the medical profession was a calling and not a job, urging them to be available 24 hours daily to give medicare to the people.
Dr Parker disclosed that effort is on to rationalise and redistribute manpower to give quality care to the people by collapsing the existing 42 general hospitals to 6 zonal hospitals that would be upgraded and fully equipped with the right calibre of staff to function optimally.
Earlier, the Chairman, Association of Heads of Government Hospitals, Dr. Emeka Ogbugo informed the Commissioner that they were in his office to identify with the State Government for the giant strides in the health sector and thanked the Governor for the cars provided for all medical doctors in the State Service.

Rivers Judiciary Denies Issuing Court Order Stopping SOLAD from Swearing in RSCSC Members
The Rivers State Judiciary has denied a media report claiming that Justice Frank Onyiri of the State High Court issued an injunction order restraining the Sole Administrator, Vice Admiral Ibok-Ete Ibas (rtd), from inaugurating the newly appointed members of the Rivers State Civil Service Commission (RSCSC).
In a statement issued by the Deputy Chief Registrar in charge of litigation at the High Court, Menenen Poromon (Esq), the state Judiciary disassociated itself from the report, describing it as malicious and fabricated.
The statement emphasized that the report was a falsehood and a misrepresentation of what transpeared in the court.
Poromon clarified that no such order was issued by Justice Onyiri or any other judge of the High Court of the state and urged the public to disregard the information, as it lacked any iota of truth.
The statement however advised the public to verify any information concerning the state Judiciary directly from the office of the Chief Registrar, High Court of the State, to avoid spreading of misinformation.
