FMC OWERRI SHUTS DOWN AGAIN; Government Health Services back to comatose in Imo State

Federal Medical Centre, Owerri

The people of Imo State of Nigeria have continued to cry out as their only hope of government-run health facility, Federal Medical Centre, Owerri, remains locked and void of comprehensive medical services.
Although, skeletal services continue unhindered for for the benefit of the HIV patients at the HEART-2-HEART UNIT, a vast majority of citizens are unable to enjoy other health services.


This problem is further worsened by the fact that many of the state-owned hospitals have been closed following the decision of the state government to privatise services at the hospitals amidst issues of unpaid salaries and other industrial issues.

The people of Imo state are calling on the federal government to come to their help as calls to persuade the Owelle Rochas Okorocha-led government to better the health state of the Eastern Heartland has fallen on deaf ears. The people of the state have continued to express their prayers for a speedy resolution of all issues stalling the smooth running of the Federal Medical centre as they cannot afford the high cost of medical services offered by private clinics in the state worst still, given the present economic challenges.
