Governor of Abia State, Alex Otti.
Abia State Governor, Alex Otti, has commissioned the newly remodelled and digitally equipped 80-bed Obingwa General Hospital in Mgboko, headquarters of Obingwa Local Government Area, and renamed the facility after the late human rights activist, Chima Ubani.
The commissioning took place on Tuesday, with Otti saying the investment was part of his administration’s efforts to modernise public healthcare and restore confidence in government-owned medical facilities.
Speaking at the event, Otti said healthcare remained central to his administration’s development agenda, particularly in improving access to quality medical services and reducing avoidable deaths among mothers and newborns.
He said the facility would expand access to healthcare for hundreds of thousands of residents in Obingwa and neighbouring communities, adding that its strategic location would also serve residents of Aba, Osisioma and other adjoining areas.
