Umuahia- ABIA State branch of Nigerian Medical Association Association, NMA, has commended Governor Theodore Orji over the building of about 215 health centres in the state, saying they would help in the fight against killer diseases in the rural areas.
The association also commended the government for establishing two diagnostic and specialist hospitals in Aba and Umuahia, which the doctors said were comparable to what obtained anywhere in the world.
Speaking at the memorial lecture in honour of a prominent politician and medical practitioner, late Dr. Josiah Okezie, Abia State chairman of NMA, Dr. Kingsley Enweremadu, noted that the governor had bequeathed an effective healthcare facility to future generation.
He said if all the necessary personnel are posted to the healthcare centres, they will help to fight incidences of maternal and infant mortality in the state.
