BREAKING NEWS: Anambra LG distributes medical equipment to 18 health centres
The Chairman of Orumba South Local Government Area of Anambra State, Shedrack Azubuike, has distributed modern medical equipment to no fewer than 18 primary healthcare facilities in the area, to boost service delivery.
During the presentation held at the council’s headquarters on Saturday, Azubike said the equipment was supplied to aid in the delivery of quality healthcare services across the local government.
The medical equipment includes anti-shock garments, baby cots, fetoscopes, pulse oximeters, delivery sets, suction machines, hospital beds, drip stands, MUAC tapes, ward screens, and other basic health equipment.
The LG chair said the equipment would enhance diagnostic and treatment capabilities of the health centres aimed at ensuring quality service delivery.
“This distribution is intended to support the state governor, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo’s efforts to strengthen the healthcare system in the state. It will help our PHCs operate effectively and reduce maternal and infant mortality rates, which remain a major focus for the state government.
“This effort is not just about equipment, it is about saving lives, improving health outcomes, reducing patient referral times and building a healthier Orumba South LG”, Azubuike said.
A community health worker, Mrs Nneka Ibeh, confirmed that the 18 primary healthcare centres in the local government received the medical equipment.
Ibeh, who spoke on behalf of the health officers, thanked the LG chairman for the gesture.
She promised that the equipment would be used to cater to the health needs of the people.
In a separate development, the LG Chairman awarded N1 million each to two young entrepreneurs to support their business proposals, foster innovation, and enhance their potential to make a local impact.
“This is an investment in the future of Orumba South, not just a donation. It is a vote of confidence in the entrepreneurial spirit of our youth. We must continue to support those who are ready to build, create, and contribute meaningfully to our economy,” the LG chairman added.
The beneficiaries, Mr Sunday Ezulike and Mr Arinze Eze, appreciated the support.
They promised to utilise the funds judiciously to expand their ventures and give back to the community.
