Two German-based experts, Dr. Alanna Ebigbo and Michael Schlander have trained staff of the Enugu State University of Science and Technology (ESUT) Parldane Hospital on the proper use of the endoscopy machine in the training of medical students and in the diagnosis of patient.
Declaring the five-day training open, the Provost of ESUT College of Medicine, Prof. Anthony Ugochukwu, reaffirmed the commitment of the hospital to collaborate with the German medical team to advance learning and fully develop the endoscopy unit at the college.
Ugochukwu, who expressed delight about the training, said the college of medicine would come up with a programme to make the training a regular feature, adding that the visit of Ebigbo and his partner from Germany would boost medical education, especially in the area of endoscopy.
"Since we acquired the endoscopy machine with the support of the Tertiary Educa-tion Trust Fund (TETFund), I have been thinking of sending some staff to China, India, USA to study the, use and management of the machine, so your visit is indeed a great relief to us because the matchine will be very useful for both students and consultants, as well as patients, we wish you will come again and even bring more machines for us. "With your assistance, we hope to go from stage one to stage three; let us explore possibilities of getting support from Germany, in fact, I am thrilled with your presence, and please we would need more equipment to solidify the endoscopy unit."
Responding, Ebigbo said they came to see how to establish an endoscopy unit at the hospital to boost healthcare in the area, adding that he would train hospital personnel on the use of the machine and carry out various diagnoses on patients.
He expressed delight that some of the staff, Dr. Levi Ayogu and Dr. Chukwudi Iloh have already mastered the use of the machine and promised to come again anytime he is needed.
The medical expert said he was motivated to embark on the training because he always said no, each time he was asked if endoscopy machines were in use in Nigeria. Before moving to Germany to study medicine, Ebigbo attended the Federal Government College, Enugu.
