The doctors, operating under the umbrella of the Nigerian Medical Association (NMA), spoke on Monday when their President, Dr. Uche Ojinma, led other national officials to a courtesy call on the Governor at Government House Owerri ahead of their national executive council (NEC) meeting on Thursday.
Dr. Ojinma said that Governor Uzodimma’s intervention in primary health, regional hospitals, health insurance, among other key areas in the health sector has marked him out as someone who understands what he has come to do in Imo with regard to infrastructure.
He spoke as Governor Uzodimma urged the doctors to join hands with the State and Federal Governments to make Nigeria great again, emphasising that “doctors and other health workers are supposed to bring value addition to the State and Country using their profession.”
The Governor who thanked them for choosing Owerri, the State Capital for the meeting and for acknowledging his modest achievements, described the NMA as “a strategic and important body, a sector that is critical and important to life that every government is forced to take seriously.”informationguidenigeria
