Rivers healthcare services improved in 6 months – Fubara 

The Rivers state governor, Sir Siminalayi Fubara, Tuesday, said the state has recorded tremendous success in the reconstruction, equipping and staffing of health facilities under his tenure more than ever before.

The result, Governor Fubara said, is that healthcare services are increasingly becoming more accessible to all residents in the state at primary, secondary and tertiary levels to ensure a healthy society.

Governor Fubara added that these efforts were only achieved in the last six months when liberation of the state was eventually secured amidst the political crisis that was triggered to distract his administration.

The Rivers state governor made the assertion at the inauguration of the Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) Oxygen Plant – a public-private initiative – at the General Hospital in Ogale community, Eleme local government area.

The plant was jointly built and installed by the United Nations organ – UNICEF – in partnership with federal government of Nigeria, Rivers state government, Canadian government and IHS Towers.

Governor Fubara stated that the project is in line with the three-point agenda of his administration despite the fact that at inception, his agenda had more points.
