Abia State Governor, Alex Otti has expressed shock following the sudden death of a medical expert, Dr. Uzoma Nwaubani, after a brief illness.

Nwaubani, who returned from the United States of America to participate in the ongoing Association of Nigerian Physicians in Americas, ANPA ,free medical outreach in Abia State, died after developing a medical emergency.

A statement personally signed by the Abia State Governor, Alex Otti , said that the late Dr. Nwaubani, who was rushed to the hospital after developing the medical emergency, died despite the gallant efforts made by a skilled medical team to resuscitate her.

“She had returned from the United States with her husband– a true son of Abia and her daughter, a final year medical student in the US to offer her medical expertise free of charge to citizens of our dear state, a sacrifice that marks her out as a compassionate and exemplary medical practitioner, alongside other ANPA volunteers.

“I hereby wish to express my deepest sympathy to the family, loved ones as well as commiserate with the Association of Nigerian Physicians in the Americas”, Otti mourned.

The Abia State Governor commended the family of the late physician for not suspending the ongoing free medical outreach because of the tragedy, noting that his administration would continue to prioritize the health of the people.
