A counter-statement from Denen Aondolumun AJ has emerged in response to recent social media claims by Asom D. Jerry, addressing allegations against Dr. Terungwa Stephen Hwande, Chief Medical Director (CMD) of Benue State University Teaching Hospital (BSUTH). Posted today, the response aims to clarify the situation amid growing concerns over reported salary deductions for late-arriving staff.
Aondolumun’s post defends Dr. Hwande, highlighting significant transformations at BSUTH under his leadership. These include enhanced efficiency through a “Monitoring Team” to address service delivery issues, hospital revitalization with improved aesthetics, the establishment of the Fr. Hyacinth Iormem Alia Cancer Care Center, and the addition of over 500 new staff members to support expanding operations.
The statement emphasizes the importance of punctuality in healthcare settings, arguing that policies promoting timeliness and discipline are crucial for life-saving services and overall quality. Aondolumun suggests that while Jerry’s claims raise valid questions, they overlook the CMD’s tireless efforts to improve BSUTH’s operations and healthcare delivery.
The response concludes by urging the public to focus on the positive impact of Dr. Hwande’s initiatives rather than speculating about his intentions. No further evidence or official confirmation regarding the alleged salary deductions has been provided, leaving the community divided as the debate continues.
