Abia Govt Partners Foundation to Offer Free Medical Services in Isuikwuato

A five-day free medical outreach
organised by the Living Hope Foundation, USA in collaboration with the Abia State Government has been flagged-off at Eluama in Isuikwuato Local Government Area.

The medical outreach will offer different free surgeries and other medical services to the people by the medical team from the U.S, numbering about 40.

Speaking at the event, Governor Alex Otti said he wants to ensure that health care delivery is made accessible to the people using both the public and standard private hospitals.

Otti, represented by the Commissioner for Health, Professor Enoch Uche noted that besides interventions in infrastructural renewal, the State Government also partners reputable health organizations to provide quality healthcare services to the people.

“What we are doing here is that we are partnering with this global health organization, known as the Living Hope Foundation that has been carrying out free medical outreaches for over 36 years.

“So what the state government is doing is to collaborate to ensure that we work together to increase the impact delivered on the goals and aspirations of our government.’

According to the Governor, as part of the partnership, the US based team is working with the local team of medical practitioners in Abia to achieve the goal of the free medical outreach.

He disclosed that the free medical services are not just holding at the Living Hope Medical Centre at Eluama, but also at the Isuikwuato General Hospital.

Otti lauded the Founder of the Living Hope Foundation, Dr. Onyebuchi Acho and his wife for their commitment in providing free medical services to his people for about 36 years now.

“You have so changed the narrative for the people of Isuikwuato that we’re so proud of you. We’re proud of you in Abia State. Your example is what our government has been preaching. People like you are the people that this government celebrates,” Otti stated.

Earlier, the founder and president of the Living Hope Foundation, Dr. Onyebuchi Acho said that they have been using the Foundation, as a ministry, to help the people that are struggling and dying needless death for the past 36 years.

“I’m excited about this. I’ve known the governor for a long time, and you know there have been so many governors that have governed this state.

“But this, to me, is the first time I’m like, wow,  Dr. Otti is a man who loves people like I do, and who cares for people like I do. And who is interested in helping Abians.

“So I’m excited, he’s a wonderful guy, and I’m glad to partner with him, and hopefully continue to have this partnership for a long time,” Dr. Acho assured.
