Umuahia – The Accident Trauma Centre being built by the Abia State government that would take care of accident victims is 70 per cent completed, Kingsley Megwara, the General Manager of the State Passengers Integrated Manifest Safety.
Scheme (ASPIMSS,) has disclosed.
Megwara told INDEPENDENT in Umuahia that the project was the brainchild of Governor Okezie ikpeazu when he was the agency’s general manager.
Said he: “You see, Dr. Ikpeazu started that project and that is one of his babies. That is why we are doing everything in our power to make sure that the edifice is completed and that we do what we are supposed to do there.”
The governor in his vision has a special dream for the trauma centre.
“As we speak, approval has been given for procurement of the equipment once the edifice is completed. That would give us the advantage of taking care of accident victims within the centre, as we normally take them to other hospitals.
“We will be on course to have that edifice not just completed but properly equipped. The trauma centre is of very critical value to the governor’s overall dream of saving lives here in Abia State, and we are trying hard to key into that dream.”
According to Megwara, plans are also on top gear to recruit more hands once the edifice is completed.
“Not quite long ago, the Commissioner for Health visited our office and I know that there are plans to recruit doctors and nurses to help that trauma centre once it is completed and commissioned.”
