AWKA—Anambra State Government has promised to take healthcare delivery to all the parts of the state as part of its integrated development strategy.

State Commissioner for Health, Professor Linus Ilika, who made the promise while taking delivery of six water ambulances which the state government procured recently for riverine and inaccessible communities in the state, said the decision to procure the ambulances was in the spirit of government’s deliberate effort to develop all sectors of the economy simultaneously.

He said Governor Peter Obi, in one of his tours of the riverine areas of the state, was touched by the plight of the people, hence the procurement of the water ambulances.

Ilika said that government was not only interested in buying ambulances and building structures, as could be seen in the gigantic structures erected in hospitals and health institutions such as Amaku General Hospital, Umueri General Hospital, Onitsha General Hospital, School of Nursing and Midwifery, Nkpor, School of Health Technology, Obosi, among others, but was also interested in equipping them.
