ENUGU, NIGERIA (New Post Africa)—The Governor of Enugu State, Nigeria’s southeast, Dr Peter Ndubuisi Mbah has flagged off the construction of the ultramodern Enugu International Hospital in the state capital, Enugu. The mammoth project, a 300-bed healthcare facility, is touted to become the leading destination for medical tourism in the region.

Speaking about the project, Mbah said: “It is a commitment to bring to an end, the need of seeking medical care overseas by our people. The facility will also serve as a training and research centre for students from our state’s major tertiary institutions, building a future of skilled healthcare professionals.”

Mbah, who during the 2023 elections campaigned on the theme ‘Tomorrow is here!’ has initiated several similar projects across the state.
