<strong>Dr. Olatunde</strong> noted that these facilities will not only be of benefit to Kogi State but to other States that share boundaries and traveling routes with Lokoja axis of the Country.

Pointing out the unique advantages of the facilities, the CMD mentioned that the mobile ventilators will make it possible for patients to move about unlike the static ventilators which confine patients to one position while on use. Unlike what the center used to have, these mobile ventilators can travel with an ambulance for emergency outside the center.

Two of the ventilators are powered by oxygen and one is powered by electricity.

Enjoining other individuals to emulate this gaint stride, the CMD referred to <strong>Natasha Akpoti</strong> as a pacesetter whose actions align with the words of Jonh F. Kennedy that citizens should think of what they can do for their country not what their country can do for them. "It is not easy for one to go out of his or her way to make this kind of huge sacrifice. We will continue to appreciate her.
