hospitals visited include Chimex Specialist Hospital and Maternity, Nnewichi, Nnewi and First MAF Hospital, Nnewichi, Nnewi.
Dr. Chukwulobelu explained that through investigation, the ministry found out that there were a lot of gaps in the system, a reason the Commissioner for Health, Dr Afam Obidike, mandated the inspection team to move across the state to identify hospitals that are operating below standards, as well as medical facilities sited on unhygienic environments.
