Kabiyesi Elemure Visits EKHMB, Sounds Alarm on Emure Hospital’s Deplorable State

The revered Kabiyesi Elemure, His Royal Majesty Oba James Babatunde Ajiboye, has expressed deep concern over the poor condition of Emure General Hospital during a courtesy visit to the Ekiti Hospital Management Board in Ado-Ekiti. The monarch highlighted several challenges facing the hospital, including inadequate staffing, insufficient facilities such as ambulances and stretchers, and subpar environmental conditions marked by overgrown bushes and inadequate toilet facilities.

Despite this, he reiterated the board’s willingness to work with the Emure community to improve healthcare delivery. The meeting was attended by key officials from both the palace and the hospital management board.
