Abia State Governor, Alex Otti, has flagged off a five-day Association of Nigerian Physicians in the Americas medical mission, a free medical outreach organised by the state government in collaboration with ANPA, holding in Aba and Umuahia, the state capital.
Declaring the medical mission open on Tuesday, Otti thanked ANPA for returning to Abia for its 2026 medical mission, just two years after its last outreach in the state.
“We are proud to have found a team of reliable development partners in ANPA, who have not only come to lift the burden of difficult health conditions for several members of our community but also to offer hands-on training and mentorship to hundreds of healthcare professionals working here.
“We also appreciate the team of ophthalmologists from our sister state here in Nigeria who have joined this mission to attend to the critical healthcare needs of our people. Thank you for volunteering your much sought-after expertise,” Otti stated.
The governor reaffirmed his administration’s unwavering commitment to prioritising healthcare, noting that his policies have consistently been driven by the desire to enhance the social and economic well-being of the people.
He emphasised that infrastructure development must align with the broader governance agenda of improving citizens’ welfare.
