With this project in place now the entire hospital is now oxygen pipe compliance which means no more moving of cylinders to patients beds, no more cylinder accident within the wards. The training on how to use the newly installed pipeline commences today 4th May,2024 by 11AM.
The inspection was lead by the Chief Medical Director, Dr. Pokop W. Bupwatda and team. After the inspection, he thanked CHAI, Ministry of Health and also extended special thanks to Dr. Shetak for always remembering JUTH as the desk officer in the Ministry of Health.
