Medical Doctors in Enugu State for the first time in the history of the state on Monday paid a solidarity visit to Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi at the Government House in appreciation of peace and good governance.

They expressed support for the governor, based on their objective assessment of his sterling performance in spite of the nation’s economic challenges and noted his strong commitment to God.

They observed that besides regular payment of salaries on 23rd of every month, massive infrastructural development across the three senatorial districts, and other people-oriented programmes in all spheres of development, Enugu State through Gov. Ugwuanyi’s meticulous financial management and commitment to public expenditure transparency, have been rated high as “among the only three states that have fulfilled obligations to their workers”.

The doctors added that Enugu is “one of the few states that can survive without federal allocations”, etc, saying: “We have come to identify with you; to tell you that we are happy and proud of you; to say that you have done well and we are in solidarity and in support of your administration to continue beyond 2019”.

In their remarks, the Chief of Staff to the Governor and Commissioner for Health, Dr. Festus Uzor and Dr. Fintan Ekochin, described the visit as unprecedented in the history of Enugu State, stressing it was a clear indication that the governor is doing well.

Dr. Uzor therefore advised the governor that “whatever you have been doing to earn this rare solidarity and support, may you continue to do it”, adding that “this visit will serve as a tonic for you to do more and much better”.

Responding, Gov. Ugwuanyi, who expressed gratitude to the doctors for the show of support and solidarity, narrated the various achievements of his administration in the Health sector, especially in the rural areas, and assured them that he will not take such gesture for granted.

Other doctors present at the event, comprising seasoned Medical Elders, Professors, Consultant Surgeons and Physicians, Resident Doctors etc include, Dr Arthur Chinedu Idoko (Coordinator Doctors for Gburus 2019); Prof. Hyacinth Onah (CMD Parklane Hospital Enugu); Rt. Hon. Dr Chukwuemeka Ogbuabor (Chairman House Committee on Health); Dr Ifeanyi Agujuaobi (Permanent Secretary Ministry of Health, Enugu State); Dr Hillary Agbo (Executive Secretary SPHDA); Dr Agu (Executive Secretary ENSACA); Dr John Chukwuani (Health Administrator SHB); Dr Martins Chukwunwike (Former Commissioner for Health); Dr Eric Oluedo (Director VEC Govt House); Prof C.B Eze (Former CMD Parklane Hospital); Prof Ezegwui (Dean of Medicine UNTH, Enugu); Prof Ugochukwu (Provost College of Medicine, Parklane Enugu), Prof. Frank Ezugwu (Dean of Medicine, Parklane Hospital, Enugu); Dr. Barth Ezugwu, among others.

Truly, Enugu State is in the hands of God!

First things first, let these men tell him that healthcare in Nigeria is paralyzed because hospitals and health ministries are managed by doctors who are not trained in management and administration and have little understanding of population health needs. Let them hire public health experts to manage these things.

Unfortunately you are so ignorant, that public health is a field of specialization for doctors. And of course, the best expert in public health must be a Consultant doctor . Every other public health worker is under a Consultant doctor, am sure u don't know that.

Wisdom is profitable to direct.

I think privatisation will b a welcome idea..

how u see am

hospitals administrators should be hired to oversee hospitals, doctors shld go back to their core work n leave administration to experts

Ok

Nigerian doctors are nothing but politicians.

All these endorsement and sychophancy are nothing but a ploy to distract the government from implementing the restructuring of the health system and addressing the injustices and imbalances pushed by people of goodwill for effective healthcare delivery..

Why are they thanking the governor for doing his job? There are numerous problems bedevilling the health system caused by them. There lies, sychophancy and propaganda cannot stop the inevitable because people are now enlightened.
