…Extends medical outreach to nomadic school
By Steve Oko
UMUAHIA — Moved by the plight of a baby born without anus, former Minister of State for Labour and Employment, Hon. Nkeiruka Onyejeocha, has vowed to bear the full cost of the child’s treatment, declaring that poverty should never condemn any child to death.
The former Minister, who is conducting a week-long free medical outreach across Isuikwuato/Umunneochi Federal Constituency, said the infant’s condition was among several heartbreaking cases that convinced her to personally fund treatment for patients whose ailments cannot be handled by the volunteer medical team.
This is as she has extended the free medical outreach to the nomadic school at the Lokpanta Regional Cattle market where pupils, women, and a swat of Northern community at the market received free medical treatment.
