The Federal Medical Center Umuahia is the cleanest Federal Hospital in Nigeria, so says the Minister of Health, Fidelis Nwankwo, The Minister, who was on an official visit to the health institution said that, he was happy with the outstanding level of cleanliness at the FMC Umuahia, having gone round all the federal hospitals in the country.
“It shows that your leadership brought what you saw abroad into the hospital, which is what is missing here in our system. There are little things that are very essential, which people see abroad, and doing these little things in a good way here makes one outstanding. Just like the hospital equipment we are talking about here, some of them don’t cost fortune, it is just that we don’t get our priorities right,” Nwankwo said.
“I urge you to keep up the good job. We have to call the attention of all the policy makers in the country that health should be made a priority and I think that there is no other ministry more important than health until they create a ministry for food, where free food are daily shared to people,” he said.
Earlier, the Medical Director of the hospital, Dr. Chuku Abali, said FMC, Umuahia had the best care unit for diabetes and the only one with customer-care unit in the country even as it upheld patients’ rights. “The hospital had undergone some metamorphosis from its pre-independence days as a mission hospital to general hospital and now a Federal Medical Centre even as it has started training of doctors,” he said
