Also, the respondents indicated that technology has significantly affected service delivery in the study area, reduced mortality and fatality rate and, improved customer service, in the usage of the various available technological facilities. Consequently, the research recommends that hospital workers should improve on their skills on the handling of new technological equipment and facilities and also ensure the effectiveness and efficiency of these facilities.
