Centre Donates Medical Equipment To TIMARIV

The Chief Medical Director of Image Diagonostic Centre, Port Harcourt, Dr. Felix Orondu has donated medical equipment worth thousands of naira to the Rivers State Road Traffic Management  Authority (TIMARIV) Medical  Unit of zone  Five.
Speaking while  receiving the equipment  on behalf  of the Authority, the zonal  controller of TIMARIV  Zone  five, Mr. Chisom Kpaluku said the donation would go a long way in boosting  the medical arm of the organisation and  thanked  him for  the gesture.
Mr. Kpaluku said it would also promote adequate first aid administration  before further referrals.
He said overtime, TIMARIV officers in the course of discharging their duties had had series of assault  cases  that required  urgent medical  attention, adding that such had necessitated the establishment  of a medical  unit in the headquarters and in the six different zones.
According to him, the unit with the help of some qualified nurses, had been able to administer  first aid treatments and handled other minor cases to save life, stressing that, “Every  second counts in saving life”.
The zonal controller on behalf  of the management  commended the Centre for partnering with the Authority and called  on other organisations, institutions  and individuals to partner with the outfit by providing logistic support, such as  traffic infrastructures, operations equipment, office furniture and medical  equipment.
Earlier, while presenting the equipment, Dr. Felix   Okechukwu Erondu said  the donation was in recognition  of  TIMARIV selfless services toward humanity in the state and to partner with them to achieve  greater  impact  in effective traffic  management   in Rivers State.
