By Jeff Agbodo, Abakaliki

ABAKALIKI — Patients and health workers have raised the alarm over the deplorable condition of the Umuebe/Amaovo Primary Health Centre in Amovu Community, Ohaukwu Local Government Area of Ebonyi State.

An investigation showed that the health centre was in a state of disrepair, with inadequate medical facilities, deteriorating staff quarters, lack of electricity and poor environmental sanitation threatening healthcare delivery at the facility.

Patients visiting the centre were seen sitting on benches due to a lack of adequate chairs and beds, while the staff quarters had reportedly become dilapidated and infested with rodents and reptiles.
