Health workers at the Federal Teaching Hospital, Ido Ekiti, have publicly supported the new Chief Medical Director (CMD), Prof. Kolawole Ogundipe, following his recent appointment by President Bola Tinubu. Oje Oladeji, Chairman of the Joint Health Sector Unions in FETHI, along with Secretary John Akinola, congratulated Ogundipe, emphasizing that his appointment reflects his qualifications and potential. They expressed optimism that under his leadership, the hospital could achieve significant improvements and elevate its status as a premier healthcare provider.

The appointment of Prof. Ogundipe is noteworthy given his extensive experience in the medical field, particularly as a consultant in plastic and reconstructive surgery, and his previous tenure as the CMD of Afe Babalola University Multi-System Hospital. In their statement, the JOHESU leaders indicated their expectations that the new CMD will spearhead efforts to enhance healthcare delivery at FETHI, making it a sought-after destination for quality medical services.

The support from health workers is crucial as they play a significant role in implementing changes and improvements in the healthcare system. The call for enhanced healthcare aligns with ongoing discussions in Nigeria regarding the need for better medical services and facilities. The confidence expressed by Ogundipe's colleagues may also influence the morale of the staff and set a positive trajectory for future developments within the hospital as they work together toward common healthcare goals.
