The Chief Medical Director of the University of Benin Teaching Hospital (UBTH), Professor (Mrs) Idia Ize-Iyamu, has urged Nigerians to remain optimistic about the upcoming year, despite current challenges.
Professor Ize-Iyamu expressed confidence that the year will bring improvements for everyone.
The CMD made the remarks during the Nine Lessons and Carol night/End-of-the-Year party organised by UBTH for staff and students, held in Benin.
Ize-Iyamu encouraged everyone to place their trust in Christ to overcome the numerous challenges facing the country.
She expressed gratitude to the hospital community for their support during her first four months in office.
Ize-Iyamu assured them that the coming years hold many opportunities and that hope in Christ will transform lives daily, just as Christ’s birth brings joy and is the reason for the season.
She also extended appreciation to the people in the spirit of the season.
“I want to appreciate everyone in the spirit of the season. Our commitment to excellence and professionalism remains at UBTH.
“UBTH cares and just like Christ cares. As we celebrate Christ and the season, let’s hope in him.
“When you have Christ, you have hope. We are hopeful that the coming year will be better as a people and institution,” Ize-Iyamu said.
The ceremony featured a visit to the hospital wards where the CMD distributed gifts to patients and newborns, with management, staff, and students in attendance.
