Governor Willie Obiano has acquired and installed a Sixty four
Computed tomographic scan diagnosis Machine at the Chukwuemeka
Odumegwu Ojukwu University Teaching Hospital, Amaku Awka.The Chief Medical Director of the hospHospitalital, Dr Basil Nwankwo made this
known when the Auxiliary Bishop of Awka Catholic Diocese, Most
Reverend Jonas Benson Okoye and others paid him a courtesy call in his
office.

Health correspondent Chibuzor Okoye reports that while
taking Bishop Okoye and his entourage which includes, the Catholic
Bishop of Ekwulobia Diocese, Bishop Peter Okpaleke among others round
the Hospital, Dr. Nwankwo said that the machine which is the most
sophisticated in diagnosing all health problems,  is the only one in the entire South East region of
Nigeria, and number six in entire federation courtesy of the Anambra
state government.

Dr. Nwankwo who explained that the machine had already done thirty two
exposures already, noted that the hospital has received tremendous
support from the state government since he assumed office, even as he
noted that the teaching hospital has attracted a world class Mother
and Child Medical Centre which was built by a multinational company
with two theatres, intensive care unit among others, which he said
will be commissioned by Governor Willie Obiano in due course.

Responding,  the Auxiliary Bishop of Awka, Most Reverend Okoye, said that what

he witnessed in the teaching hospital is highly commendable, as
according to him, the hospital has been transformed a lot in both
infrastructure and service to the people , urging the
staff and the management of the hospital not to relent.

For the Catholic Bishop of Ekwulobia Diocese, Most Reverend Okpaleke,
the visit has changed his perception about government hospitals,
because of the huge sacrifices both the Anambra state government and
the staff and management of the hospital have put in place, and prayed
God to bless them.
