Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has expressed satisfaction with the facilities put in place at the newly refurbished Etinan General Hospital in Akwa Ibom.
The vice president who at the weekend commissioned the facilities at the hospital said Governor Emmanuel is deliberately impacting on the lives of his people.
He lauded Governor Emmanuel for setting out to meet the health needs of the people across the state.
“I can say here that the equipment is state of the arts, and that of the 21st century, and there are several trained medical personnel including doctors, and I want to congratulate the people of this community, hoping they will make good use of the facilities to stand the test of time.” Vice President Osinbajo expressed hope that the ongoing reconstruction of facilities at other General Hospitals in the state will also be completed as promised, to the benefit of the people.
Governor Emmanuel, who led the Vice President to the hospital in Etinan, said his administration decided to intervene in the hospitals rehabilitation and re-equipping in the ten federal constituencies of the state for even spread of secondary health amenities.
He said all the equipment at the hospital came from the United States of America as his administration’s premium on the health and well-being of the people would not let him compromise on quality.
The governor explained that the facilities will enhance health care delivery at the grassroots and will also make it affordable to the populace.
“We discover that people die from simple medical issues that a well equipped secondary health facility could have handled.”
The State chief executive also hinted that the total turn around in secondary medical facilities was a concerted effort at meeting the basic medical needs of the people and to reduce pressure on tertiary and quaternary medical facilities in the state, adding that the same reconstruction and re-equipping was being witnessed in eight other General Hospitals in the ten federal constituencies in the state.
Commenting further on the importance of the life of the citizens, Mr Emmanuel reminded the Vice President that expectant mother, children and the aged still access free medical services in the state.
