On Friday, 19th June 2026, healthcare professionals across Edo State gathered for a training on Emergency Preparedness and Oxygen Use in Health Facilities, organized by the Edo State Health Regulation and Monitoring Agency (EDOHERMA). The training created an important opportunity for participants to strengthen their skills, share experiences, and enhance their capacity to respond effectively during emergencies.

The Chief Executive Officer(CEO) of EDOHERMA, Dr. Adesuwa Urhoghide-Edigin, emphasized the importance of building a resilient healthcare system through continuous learning and preparedness.
