IBOM SPECIALIST HOSPITAL RECORDS MAJOR SURGERIES -Aniekan Umanah The vision behind the Ibom Multi-Specialis t Hospital is gradually coming to the fore, as the facility has recorded successes in major surgeries and is also offering free cardiac screening for people above 40 years of age. Speaking on the leap the specialist hospital has given to Akwa Ibom in medical tourism, the Commissioner for Information and Communications, Mr. Aniekan Umanah said the State is already attracting people in need of specialized Medicare, which is not found anywhere else in Africa. According to the Commissioner, "the hospital has so far administered eight major medical operation, one of which was one-hour surgery on a Greek, Professor Nicholas Dousis, who had protruberant overhanging abdominal wall. A condition that gave him back pain and a poor quality of life." In addition, Mr. Umanah said, "one Mr Uwem Akpan Johnson, who had large disfiguring keloid filling his entire cheeks and chin, a condition that affected his confidence and kept him from getting married, was successfully operated at the specialist hospital by the Chief Plastic Surgeon, who removed the entire lesion, without any disfigurement." "Mr. Uwem Akpan is now happy and has fixed his marriage date." The Commissioner added. Encouraging Akwa Ibom citizens to seize the opportunity of the free cardiac screening, including consultations and ECG, which will last from Friday January 15 to Friday January 22, 2016, Mr. Umanah emphasised that "with the modern facilities and the calibre of medical experts available, the Specialist Hospital can compare with the very best around the world."

Udom on school remodelling project

djustice:
I'm waiting for the Asiwaju Criminal Notebooks to come and piss all over this thread. I am an indigene of Lagos State, and when I visited Uyo in 2010, I was stunned by the rate of development. I've hated Fashola, Tinubu and the whole ACN nonsense since then.

Consider that the total revenue for this state has never been up to half of total revenue in Lagos. Also consider that they have about twice the land mass of Lagos State to develop, and yet they have more roads per square km, a fully functional airport, complete with hangar.

In Lagos, we're still talking about how we will "soon" start building an airport, 13 years after the idea was first broached by Tinubu.

I also noticed that there is no single toll road in Uyo. Not one! And all the roads are better than our single toll road in Lagos.

Bros Akwaibom is about 15000 sqr km while Lagos is approximately 3000 sqr km. Ask your google

New phase of school infrastructure in our dear state

Goodday , I know this post is old but i need a self contain in uyo for just one month as I won't be spending much time ; I don't mind paying 20k-25k

How i wish our neighbouring states like abia and imo will emulate from us . Akwa ibom is a nice place to be free from prejudice and tribalism. Unlike abia and enugu

Dollyak:

I think we should all learn to view every criticism objectively. To be honest, for a state with a higher budget and significantly less population than Lagos, you would expect a lot more project than what we are currently seeing on this thread. Akwa ibom's population is similar to Anambra state yet Anambra seems to be punching above her weight in developmental projects, despite having a budget 3 times less than that of Akwa ibom. Perhaps deceptively, but it appears many states are getting more out of their budget than Akwa ibom. To whom more is given more is expected, so you guys should have higher expectations.

have you been to anambra before no, you are just estimating what you don't know. To tell u the simple truth nothing dey anambra were i now

#Yawns, I don tire! The pictures are too many, mbok if you want to see more kindly visit Akwa Ibom State...

Bros e. You seem to know a lot of places in Uyo. I have 3 questions in order of importance:
(1) Do you know places (e.g. hotels, etc) where I can learn swimming in Uyo?
(2) Is there a Baptist church in Uyo? I have searched but I haven't yet found one yet.

Na wa o. This thread still dey alive?
