Yesterday, I had quality interactive session with a delegation of medical practitioners from Austria, led by Rev. Fr. Dr. Emeka Emeakaraoha, who have been on a Free Medical Mission in Imo State for some days now.
Their humanitarian service has brought life, hope and succour to many people who are beneficiaries of the free medical mission in partnership with the State Government.
While I expressed my profound gratitude to the team, on behalf of the Government and good people of Imo State, I made important appeal to the team.
I am optimistic that my appeal for the exercise to be carried out twice a year, will be considered, with a view to spreading the mission across all other communities in the State.
I hinted on my willingness to enter into a partnership that will curb the menace of illicit and substandard drugs being circulated round the State. I believe in due course, the system will be properly sanitized.
