At Jos University Teaching Hospital, quality healthcare for women and children remains a top priority.
We recently had a conversation with the Head of the Obstetrics & Gynaecology (O&G) Department, JUTH, Prof. Iornum Shambe, who shared insights into the department’s commitment to safe motherhood and excellent reproductive healthcare.
“Our vision is to provide comprehensive, patient-centered care that ensures the safety and wellbeing of every woman and child.”
From antenatal care to delivery and postnatal services, the department continues to uphold high standards through:
✔️ Skilled and dedicated healthcare professionals
✔️ Improved maternal and neonatal care
✔️ Continuous training of medical personnel
✔️ Adoption of modern medical practices
Making Impact Where It Matters Most
The department plays a vital role in reducing maternal and infant health risks through early detection, timely intervention, and community education.
“We encourage women to seek care early and regularly. At JUTH, we are committed to safe, reliable, and compassionate care.”
Community Engagement & Awareness
Through outreach programs and health education, the department is empowering women with the knowledge needed for healthier pregnancies and safer deliveries.
Importantly, JUTH’s services are not limited to the confines of the hospital. Over the years, doctors from the department have continued to provide specialist care to rural dwellers through community outreach services in selected secondary healthcare centres. These interventions have significantly improved maternal and fetal outcomes, as well as women’s reproductive health in underserved communities.
Looking Ahead
With plans to expand services and introduce more advanced technologies, the future of maternal healthcare at JUTH remains promising.
