Abia State Governor, Alex Otti, expressed gratitude to President Tinubu for the completion of the hospital and its transformation into a multi-purpose facility to cater to the diverse health needs of the community.

Furthermore, Governor Otti highlighted the significant reduction in maternal mortality rates in Abia State and pledged further efforts to continue this positive trend.
He also emphasized his administration’s commitment to reducing medical tourism expenditures by establishing a medical village.
The Chief Executive Officer of the Abia State Hospital Management Board, Dr. Odochi Azubuike, underscored that the hospital is fully equipped to meet the healthcare needs of mothers and children in the state.
