To our dear children of the RSUTH community,
On this special occasion of World Children’s Day 2026, I stand with every doctor, nurse and the staff of the Rivers State University Teaching Hospital to celebrate you – our pride, our hope, and our future leaders.
Every child that comes through our doors reminds us why we do what we do. Your courage in the face of illness, your laughter that lights up our wards, and your dreams that inspire us daily are the heartbeat of RSUTH.
This year’s theme, “Paediatric Children – Future Leaders,” is a promise we take seriously. At RSUTH, we remain committed to giving you timely, quality, and compassionate care so you can grow strong, healthy, and ready to lead tomorrow.
To our brave little champions on admission, to our outpatients, and to the children of our staff – you are special, you are loved, and you matter to us. May you recover speedily, thrive, and shine.
To parents and guardians, thank you for trusting us with your most precious gifts. Together, let us raise these children intentionally, with love, discipline, and hope.
Happy Children’s Day!
May your future be as bright as your smiles today.
Prof. Chizindu A. Alikor
Chief Medical Director
Rivers State University Teaching Hospital (RSUTH)
