The Mayor Of Milwaukee Donates Hospital Equipment To AMAC—-The Abuja Municipal Area Council (AMAC) on Thursday received hospital equipment donated to the Council by the Mayor of Milwaukee, U.S., Calvalier Johnson.

Maikalangu expressed his gratitude, emphasising the critical need for such equipment in local clinics.

“Today is my happy day because we are receiving a generous donation of hospital equipment from the United States.

“This donation, facilitated by the government of Wisconsin and the mayor of Milwaukee, Calvary Johnson, is a beacon of hope for grassroots clinics lacking essential medical facilities.

“In a step towards improving healthcare access for residents of the Abuja Municipal Area Council, I visited the Mayor in September, 2023.

“I told him about the challenges those at the grassroots are facing in terms of accessing good hospitals within AMAC.

“We are glad that we are receiving a trunk load of these items today. This showcased the impact of international collaboration on local communities,” he said.

He assured that measures have been put in place to ensure the items are not diverted to private hospitals.

Recognising the high value of the equipment, the AMAC boss said that personnel would be trained in their proper use to ensure effective healthcare delivery.

“One of these items donated to us cost about N160 million. So, I will distribute these items myself to ensure they are channeled to the rightful purposes,” he added.

Others are; 10 dental and diabetes equipment, 108 gastrointestinal and gloves, 108 surgery syringe, 38 Tubing urology, 164 orthopedic appliances, 170-20 hoyer lift two, 171 commodes, 174 oxygen carts and orthopedic supplies among others.

Japan’s Bird Flu Cases Surge In January—-Japan is experiencing a surge of avian influenza outbreak, with approximately five million chickens and other birds culled across five prefectures this month.

The Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries has confirmed the new outbreaks at two poultry farms in Morioka City this week.

This has prompted the establishment of an on-site response headquarters in Iwate Prefecture.

In total, 26 outbreak sites have been identified this month, with nearly five million birds impacted.

The ministry warned that the outbreaks could show no signs of slowing and the situation may worsen, potentially breaking past records.

The ministry also noted the impact on egg prices, reporting a 15per cent increase since the start of the year.

Some industry observers have raised concerns about potential supply shortages as the effects of avian influenza begin to take hold.
