Our driving objective at UPTH is to become a world class quartenary hospital, using cutting edge technology and highly developed human resources to render excellent medical care/services to the good people of Rivers State and beyond in-order to markedly reduce the number of patients seeking medical tourism abroad.
As a world-class tertiary health institution, UPTH has produced its first edition of the Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) in line with international best
practices. This document was produced to guide its staff in the discharge of their duties in a bid to provide good quality, equitable and efficient services to the good
people of Nigeria. It is therefore pertinent that every member of staff avails himself/herself of a copy of this document and complies strictly with the provisions of the stipulated
guidelines contained in it. My appreciation goes to all the Heads of Departments / Units, Members of the SOP Technical Committee and DCMAC (NHIS/SERVICOM)- Dr. Obianma N. Onya for the role they played in developing the maiden edition of the SOPs.
Prof. Henry A.A. Ugboma,
