Gov Lauds MTN For Donating Dialysis Centre
Anambra State Governor, Peter Obi, has officially inaugurated a haemodialysis centre donated to the General Hospital, Onitsha, by the MTN Nigeria Foundation.
The new Heamodialysis Centre was provided under the MTNF Medical Support Project, introduced last year by the foundation to assist in providing critical infrastructure in public hospitals across the country.
Obi said, “It has been the vision of the state to bring affordable and quality healthcare services closer to the people, especially in the areas of dreaded diseases like cancer, kidney and heart failure”.
To achieve this, the state established a Breast, Kidney and Heart centre in General Hospital, Onitsha. We are grateful to MTN Foundation for equipping the Kidney dialysis unit, which will go a long way in reducing the increasing cases of renal failure and other kidney diseases.”
The inauguration ceremony was attended by dignitaries from Onitsha and its environs, including the Obi of Onitsha, His Royal Majesty, Igwe Naemeka Alfred Achebe.
