The statement released to the media on June 6, reads: The 132- Bed Hospital has 50 Delivery Rooms, 6 Modular Operating Theatres, Invitro Fertilization Equipment, Fluoroscopic Equipment and Mamography Equipment.
This is a bold attempt by Governor Nyesom Wike to boost infant and maternal health in the South-South Zone. Also tomorrow, the foundation stone for Dr. Peter Odili Cancer and Cardiovascular Disease Treatment Centre to be located at Rumuokwuta will be laid.
