Earlier in his address, the Medical Director of Apex Multi Specialty Hospital, Mr Nwosu, who is a Professor of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, explained how his vision for establishing the hospital started, saying that by adding the Neurosurgery and Intensive Care Units to the hospital, citizens of Anambra State and beyond who need close attention following severe illnesses and unconsciousness can now get a chance for life, while victims of major brain and spinal cord injuries can now avail themselves of the much needed services of Neurosurgeons at various units of the hospital.
Professor Nwosu thanked Governor Obiano for the vision of establishing an Oxygen plant in the State, noting that the Oxygen plant will ensure supply of life saving Oxygen to every hospital bed at all times.
The Chairman of the occasion, and first Executive Governor of Anambra State, Chief Pius Ezeife, said the akuluo uno initiative by the benefactor is now a gesture to reckon with, and has triggered development of quality rural healthcare delivery and health education, which are now available at Apex Multi Specialty hospital, Awka.
