The 2023 presidential candidate of Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi and an associate, Prof. Philip Ozuah, have donated an additional N25 million to the Immaculate Heart Sisters, which manages the IHM Health System.
Obi disclosed this in an X post on Saturday.
In 2024, the former Anambra governor and Ozuah donated N75 million to the Specialist Hospital in Nkpor, Anambra State, which is part of the IHM Health System.
Obi said the fresh donation was made when he visited one of the IHM Health System vital healthcare facilities in the remote rural community of Mmiata, Anambra East local Government of Anambra State on Friday, January 24.
“Yesterday, I continued my nationwide visits and support to critical areas of development: health, education, and poverty alleviation.
“I had the opportunity of visiting one of the IHM Health System vital healthcare facility providing essential services to people in the remote rural community of Mmiata, Anambra East local Government of Anambra State.
“The IHM Health System is managed by the Immaculate Heart Sisters. With the support of a kind-hearted Nigerian, Prof. Ozuah, I donated N75 million to their Specialist Hospital in Nkpor last year.
“To further support the remarkable work they are doing especially in rural areas like Mmiata-Anam, where their facility which I handed to them while serving as Governor has now been greatly improved, expanded. It is the only hospital that serves this area of the state.
“Prof Ozuah and I donated additional 25M for their selfless efforts to humanity.”
Obi restated his belief that investing in critical areas such as health, education, and poverty alleviation through support for small businesses and humanitarian gestures remains the most effective path to national growth and development.
“I remain committed to replicating similar support for key institutions across the nation,” he stated.
Obi thanked the proprietor, management, and staff of the health facility “whose dedication enables the hospital to grow and improve its healthcare delivery services to poor communities”.
