Facility Designed for Round-the-Clock Healthcare

He added that the state government had also introduced special incentives for doctors serving in rural communities to encourage improved healthcare delivery outside urban centres.
The governor said the administration remained committed to strengthening the primary healthcare system as part of broader efforts to improve public health outcomes across the state.
Roads, Youth Centre and Administrative Block Also Commissioned
Beyond the healthcare project, the governor also inaugurated other infrastructure projects in Oron.
The projects include a youth-friendly centre, the 2.1-kilometre Ukpong Street, the 2.1-kilometre Effiong Essang Street with an 800-metre discharge drainage system, as well as a new administrative block constructed by the Oron Local Government Council.
