The House of Assembly has earmarked N600 million for the enhancement of healthcare facilities in a significant move towards bolstering healthcare infrastructure in Akwa Ibom state. The Chairman of the House Committee on Health, Mr. Moses Essien, representing the YPP-Ibiono constituency, disclosed this allocation during a media briefing held in Uyo on Friday. Mr. Essien emphasized that the allocated funds are specifically designated for the maintenance and improvement of state-owned healthcare facilities spread across the three senatorial districts of the state. This allocation underscores the state government’s commitment to advancing healthcare development and ensuring access to quality healthcare services for all residents.

Highlighting the state’s dedication to healthcare improvement, Mr. Essien revealed that approximately 85 percent of the 2024 budget is allocated to upgrading facilities in hospitals across Akwa Ibom.

Addressing concerns about the project’s progress, Mr. Essien stated, “As the chairman of the House Committee on Health in the State House of Assembly, I have engaged with the commissioner for health on numerous occasions, and I have personally met with the governor, who has assured me of the hospital’s completion.”
