The Chief Medical Director of Alex Ekwueme Federal University Teaching Hospital Abakaliki (AEFUTHA), Professor Robinson Chukwudi Onoh on behalf of the management and entire staff has expressed profound gratitude to the Federal Government of Nigeria, under the leadership of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, for the approval of a 50% subsidy on electricity tariff for all federal tertiary health institutions across the country.
The subsidy will have a substantial positive impact on the hospital’s overall operations and performance. This remarkable gesture by the Federal Government has demonstrated her strong commitment in addressing the challenges faced by Nigerians as a result of high cost of healthcare services.
For Chief Medical Directors and Medical Directors of tertiary health institutions in Nigeria, the subsidy will assist in assuaging the high cost of electricity, ensuring the availability of electricity in our hospitals, and enabling hospitals to allocate more resources towards patient care and other essentials services.
In AEFUTHA, the subsidy will enhance the efficiency of both clinical and non-clinical operations within the hospital which will culminate into better healthcare service delivery with improved outcomes. AEFUTHA assures His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu that we remain committed to the actualization of the Renewed Hope Agenda and the vision to improve healthcare delivery services across the nation.
Congratulations to our indefatigable, hardworking and committed Honourable Minister of Health and Social Welfare, Professor Muhammad Ali Pate and Minister of Health for State, Dr. Tunji Alausa for this very great stride achieved. Truly, history is made and documented in the annals of time.

In a profound demonstration of altruism, the Innerwheel Club of Abakaliki Central and District 914 orchestrated a transformative charity project, illuminating the lives of indigent patients by settling their hospital bills at the Alex Ekwueme Federal University Teaching Hospital, Abakaliki, Ebonyi State.
Under the guidance of District Chairman Mrs. Uzunma Okoroafor, a dedicated entourage of Innerwheel members from 14 clubs spanning South-East and South-South Nigeria convened for this impactful initiative. The event, strategically aligned with the club's broader meeting activities on January 26th and 27th, 2024, exemplifies the enduring commitment of Innerwheel to humanitarian service.
Innerwheel Member Nonye Muoneke provided insight into the purpose of this outing, stating, "All these clubs came together for the meetings, and this hospital bill settlement is a testament to our dedication to making a tangible difference in the lives of those in need."
Past District Chairman Rose Chinwe Ezeadikwa, addressing the indigent patients, underscored the club's ethos grounded in service to humanity. She highlighted how the principles of Innerwheel drive these initiatives, emphasizing the profound impact that collective goodwill can have on community welfare.
Expressing gratitude, District Chairman Mrs. Okoroafor lauded the collaborative efforts of Abakaliki Central Club and District 914, recognizing their significant role in "putting smiles on the faces of the less privileged."
Dr. Mrs. Sorochi Otuu, Head of Social Welfare Department at AEFUTHA, received the generous donation on behalf of the Chief Medical Director, Prof Onoh Robinson.

The initiative's impact resonated deeply as one patient from Accident and Emergency, two patients from Psychiatry, and a patient from Gynecology wards experienced the tangible benefits of this benevolence. Full or partial settlements of their hospital bills not only provide financial relief but also symbolize a collective commitment to fostering a healthier and more compassionate community.
The Innerwheel Club's benevolent endeavor serves as a beacon, illuminating a path towards a more equitable and caring society. In the convergence of collective goodwill and purposeful action, lives are touched, and the ripple effects extend far beyond the confines of a hospital room.
