“Once you call any of our numbers, the ambulance should be able to take you to the nearest hospital or transport you from one facility to the other.”
He made this disclosure, during the commissioning of a 300-bed isolation center in Ituk Mbang, Uruan local government council of the state at the weekend.
He also announced that his administration has acquired more ambulances to be placed at strategic locations to transport people to any general hospital, “so that we can be well assured of effective health care delivery”. “Two years ago when I came here for renovation, I said that it will come to a time when 15 minutes and even one hour will be too much to travel out of this country for health care.”
The governor said that, based on the contact tracing projections in the state, he had anticipated the increase in the number of infected persons, and warned that everyone should adhere to the management guidelines of COVID19. He explained that he has been able to roof Ibom Specialist Hospital, provide modern medical equipment there and was currently working towards equipping the second floor adding that, “all we have done and are doing is in the interest of the people and I know that once I am out of office, Akwa Ibom people will stand by those facilities to make sure they are protected and they stand functional for a very long time.
