Equipment at the new hospital among others include ultra sound equipment, radiant warmer for new born babies, incubators, fully equipped theatre that can undertake orthopaedic surgery, fully equipped laboratory and solar power system as alternative power source. “I strongly believe that a hospital should not be known by its size, colours or dimensions of the building, rather by the availability of modern medical equipment and the expertise of the personnel that will man that equipment. This is why we have deployed a lot of resources and energy to ensure that we procure world class equipment in various areas of medicine that will serve this community.

On his part, the Member representing Arochukwu/Ohafia federal constituency, Uko Nkole and Member, representing Ohafia North at the State House of Assembly, Mandela Obasi lauded the Governor for remembering those in the rural areas by building the facility which they noted will sufficiently serve the healthcare need of the people.
