Abia State government has reassured the people of its continued commitment providing quality health care.
Wife of the governor, Mercy Odochi Orji, disclosed this at the launch of the Health Fair in Bende Local Government Area. She said the commitment accounts for the huge government investment in the health sector aimed at enhancing the people’s access to quality health care services.
Orji added that it was in furtherance of this objective that government was building specialist hospitals in Aba and Umuahia, the dialysis centre in Umuahia, chest, ear and eye centres also in Umuahia, 100-bed hospitals in nine local government areas and over 250 primary health care centres in various wards of the state.
She commended the state governor for doing so much in the health sector, enhancing the quality of health care and ensuring that Abians stay healthy.
On the fair, the wife of the governor said it was aimed at educating and sensitising the people, particularly the aged, about their health status and the benefits of maintaining healthy lifestyles. She also counselled the people on the need to go for routine medical check-ups, good diets and regular exercise for physical fitness and longer life.
