Governor Bassey Otu of Cross River State
The Cross River State Government has approved funding for the completion of a kidney dialysis centre at the General Hospital, Ogoja, as part of efforts to expand access to specialist healthcare services in the northern senatorial district of the state.
The state Commissioner for Health, Dr Henry Ayuk, disclosed this in a statement made available to journalists on Friday in Calabar.
He said the project was expected to close a major gap in renal healthcare by bringing life-saving dialysis services closer to patients who currently travel to neighbouring states and other parts of Cross River to access treatment.
According to Ayuk, the approval by Governor Bassey Otu underscores the administration’s commitment to strengthening healthcare infrastructure and ensuring equitable access to quality medical services across the state.
