The Managing Director of NLNG, Dr. Philip Mshelbila, represented by Dr. Sophia Horsfall, said the donation is part of NLNG’s Hospital Support Programme (HSP), a strategic initiative launched in response to healthcare challenges highlighted during the COVID-19 pandemic. “As a medical doctor, I understand the impact that the newly renovated and equipped neonatal ward and intensive care unit will have in saving lives, especially the most vulnerable—newborns and critically ill infants,” Dr. Mshelbila said.

“It marks a decisive step forward in our commitment to fostering a healthcare system that works. With these enhancements, the Federal Medical Centre, Asaba, is now better positioned to deliver care with improved tools, quicker response times, and better outcomes for our youngest and most fragile patients,” he added

The Minister of State for Health and Social Welfare, Dr. Iziag Salako, represented by Dr. Jimoh Salaudeen, described the donation as a milestone in Nigeria’s quest to improve healthcare infrastructure in line with President Bola Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda.

The Chief Medical Director of FMC Asaba, Dr. Victor Osiatuma, expressed gratitude to NLNG, applauding the company’s transparency and commitment throughout the project. “This facility was not only rebuilt and re-equipped but also piped with oxygen to ensure that every baby, whether in a cot or an incubator, has direct access to life-saving oxygen,” Dr. Osiatuma said.

The newly commissioned neonatal and ICU wards are expected to significantly boost the hospital’s capacity to deliver critical care services, especially for newborns and infants in need of intensive medical support
