The Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) has procured two intubatable manikins for Kubwa General Hospital in Abuja.

The medical facility, which could be used for simulation exercise during trainings is expected to be handed over to the medical director of the hospital and used by JICA training ex-participants to disseminate lessons and knowledge acquired in Japan to colleagues in their respective hospitals and peripheral health centres.
