Edo State Government Launches New Hospital in Iguobazuwa

The Edo State Government has initiated the construction of a two-storey general hospital in Iguobazuwa, the headquarters of Ovia South-West Local Government Area. This project aims to improve access to secondary healthcare services for residents of Ovia Federal Constituency and surrounding communities.

The groundbreaking ceremony was conducted by Deputy Governor Dennis Idahosa on behalf of Governor Monday Okpebholo. Idahosa stated that the hospital would provide essential medical services, reducing the need for residents to travel long distances for treatment.

The facility is designed to include a pharmacy, mortuary, and staff quarters, ensuring effective healthcare delivery. Idahosa praised Okpebholo for the initiative, which reflects the administration's commitment to enhancing the quality of life for Edo residents.

The Chairman of Ovia South-West Local Government Area, Anthony Osarobo, and other officials also commended the project as a timely response to local healthcare challenges. This initiative is part of the SHINE Agenda aimed at improving access to quality healthcare across Edo State.
