Charles Udoh emphasized that, already the Etinan General Hospital has been given a complete turn-around both in face-lift and facilities adding that, the output of the hospital is very impressive as patients in-take has been in the increase with the modern facilities in the operation theatre and wards in the hospital including the digital beds in the male and female wards.

He said to ensure workability and proper maintenance of equipment in Etinan General Hospital a workshop has been put in place within the hospital premises for the servicing and smooth operation of the facilities.

Udoh who said, Ikono General hospital is also wearing a new look and receiving a new lease of life added that an emergency operation centre has been opened at IDH Ikot Ekpene for quick surgery on patients while ambulances have been provided by government for surveillance around the state capital for prompt responses to traumatic cases.

In the Gender empowerment sector, the Information Boss stated that the Gender-friendly Governor of Akwa Ibom State, Mr. Udom Emmanuel places priority on gender issues, adding that, the Governor does not only run a gender-sensitive government with the appointment of women into the state executive council and other government boards and commissions but is committed to the packaging of programmes towards gender equality and development in the state.

Some of the programmes under Gender empowerment include: the numerous welfare schemes through soft loans, skills acquisition, supply of farming implements and improved seedlings, ICT training and provision of start-up equipment and the involvement of different MDAs in gender-sensitive schemes including; FEYReP, Ministry of Women Affairs, Ministry of Agriculture, Ministry of Science and Technology and AKEES, among others.
