The House of Representatives has successfully passed the Bill for an Act to Amend the Federal Medical Centres Act and establish a Federal Medical Centre in Boki local government area of Cross River State. Sponsored by Hon. Victor Abang, this legislative proposal received overwhelming support from House members, emphasizing the critical need to extend high-quality healthcare services across all regions of the country.
The proposed Federal Medical Centre in Boki Local Government Area aims to bridge existing healthcare gaps, particularly in underserved communities, while reinforcing the nation’s commitment to universal healthcare coverage. Hon. Victor Abang’s proactive approach to addressing healthcare disparities ensures equitable access to medical facilities and services throughout the Boki/Ikom Federal Constituency.
This initiative not only enhances primary healthcare delivery but also strengthens the capacity to manage complex medical conditions, ultimately improving overall health outcomes for residents in the region. The proposed Federal Medical Centre in Boki LGA is expected to serve as a beacon of hope, offering a comprehensive range of medical services, including preventive care, diagnostics, treatment, emergency response, and rehabilitation. By expanding healthcare infrastructure and resources to previously underserved areas, Hon. Abang takes decisive steps toward promoting health and well-being for all constituents as outlined in his 2023-27 Legislative Agenda for the Federal constituency.
