Pregnant Women Deliver With Lanterns as Ebonyi Community’s Only Health Centre Rotts Away – Report
More than 3,000 residents of Akpaka community in Ohaukwu LGA of Ebonyi State face grave health risks as their only Primary Health Care centre lies abandoned and in ruins. A report by MonITNG describes the facility as a failure of governance, with broken roofs, damaged beds, no equipment, no electricity and no qualified health workers. Pregnant women reportedly give birth under lantern light using unsterilised tools, while other patients travel long distances or rely on costly private clinics. The group has urged Governor Francis Nwifuru and federal authorities to urgently rehabilitate, equip and staff the centre.
