In his address, Governor Otti made a resolute promise that government hospitals in Abia State would no longer be allowed to deteriorate. This commitment signifies a turning point in the provision of healthcare services in the state, as the government takes proactive steps to ensure that its citizens have access to quality medical care in well-maintained facilities.
Otti revealed that the government aims to completely revitalize all primary, secondary, and tertiary healthcare facilities within the state to ensure their optimal operation. He additionally expressed the government’s commitment to addressing prevalent diseases across all regions of the state.
The reopening of the Abia Specialist Hospital and the Amachara General Hospital is not only a symbol of improved healthcare but also a testament to the state government’s dedication to enhancing the overall well-being of its people.
