The Anambra State Hospital Administrator, Dr. Frank Ifeanaeme, has assured residents of Agulu and neighbouring communities that General Hospital, Agulu, is adequately equipped with qualified medical personnel and essential facilities to provide quality healthcare services.
Dr. Ifeanaeme gave the assurance on Nov. 6, during an unannounced visit to the hospital, where he encouraged residents to make better use of the public health facility whenever they require medical attention.
He explained that the hospital has the necessary infrastructure, medical equipment and skilled personnel to attend to patients, adding that its conducive environment provides comfort for those seeking medical care.
The hospital administrator commended the health workers for their dedication and commitment to duty, particularly their readiness to attend to patients around the clock, including emergency cases at night.
He, however, cautioned them against imposing excessive charges on patients, especially for laboratory investigations, stressing the need to make healthcare affordable and accessible to everyone, regardless of their financial status.
Dr. Ifeanaeme noted that the Anambra State Government had invested significant resources in recruiting qualified health professionals and equipping public hospitals to ensure that both wealthy and less privileged residents have access to quality medical services.
He urged the workers to reciprocate the government’s investment through professionalism, compassion and improved service delivery, emphasising that patients deserve respectful and attentive care.
The hospital administrator expressed appreciation to the staff for their presence and commitment during his unannounced visit, encouraging them to sustain their dedication to duty and continue improving the standard of healthcare delivery.
