The New Ikot Ekpene General Hospital is ready for inauguration today. I had promised to establish, remodel or renovate secondary health facilities (General Hospitals) across the ten Federal Constituencies in my state. This has been achieved.

We had previously commissioned those in Etinan, Eket, Awa, Iquita, Oron, Ikono, Ituk Mbang, and Ikot Okoro.

Our proactive approach to healthcare delivery had seen us establish and equip the ICU at the Ibom Specialist Hospital, which became a saving grace when the Covid-19 first hit our shores and later the construction of the 300-Bed Infectious Disease Control Centre in Ituk Mbang, complete with a gas plant which is one of the largest in the nation.

If we all continue to invest in this sector, we can reverse the rising tide of brain drain, medical tourism in Nigeria.

~ Executive Governor of Akwa Ibom State, His Excellency Mr Udom Emmanuel
