“I am particularly delighted that this project will be ready for commissioning by His Excellency the Governor of Cross River State, Senator Bassey Edet Otu in the next one week. This project was signed and started by me and I count it as one of our hundred days in office achievement. I appreciate the effort of our partners the Spotlight Initiative, the Ministry of Women Affairs, site engineers and all those responsible for pushing this project to this level. I encourage everyone to put in more effort in the completion of this project which would be a great feat for Cross River State health sector and Nigeria at large,” the Commissioner remarked.

Also speaking, the Chief Medical Director of General Hospital Calabar, Dr Kenneth Takim, lauded the Commissioner for Health for his keen interest in ensuring that the project meets specifications. He said, when completed, the Fistula Centre would open yet another channel of service at the Hospital.

“We are expecting stock in a couple of days to call this project a wrap. I congratulate the Commissioner and partners for creating this window and this will really help in tackling fistula and gender-based issues in Cross River State,” Dr Takim concluded.

The centre, when operational, will provide repair surgeries, care and rehabilitation for victims of obstructed labour who end up with fistula and fistula-related complications. The centre will also provide comprehensive treatment and care for gender-based violence.
