Institute of health service administrators tasks members on improvement

By Kemi Akintokun

The Institute of Health Service Administrators of Nigeria (IHSAN) has urged its members to be innovative and technologically driven to improve the quality of services rendered in hospitals.

A communique issue by IHSAN President, Mrs Rosemary Archibong, also commended the effort of the President Bola Tinubu-led administration in improving the country health indices.

Archibong said the recently concluded National workshop and council meeting held in Niger was put together to remind administrators of their roles in ensuring the successful running of hospitals.

“The quality of health administrators regulates the success or otherwise of any hospitals and that is why the theme of our national workshop was ‘Building The Hospital Of The Future”.

“If the hospital is harmoniously coordinated, clinical professionals will carry out their duties efficiently and effectively.

“Hospital administrators are expected to be innovative, conversant with latest technology and be entrepreneurial conscious to improve internally generated revenue and development of the hospital..

“The efforts put in so far by the present administration to improve the health indices and rekindle hope in the health sector are commendable,” she said.

The body, however, urged government to recognise the certification of hospital administrators by IHSAN for the purpose of progression for its members in service. (NAN)
