Church donates MRI machine to Abia govt – Official
Add us on Google The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has donated a 1.5 Tesla Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scanner to the Abia State Government to support the administration’s healthcare policy under Governor Alex Otti. The Commissioner for Information in Abia State, Okey Kanu, disclosed this on Monday during an interaction with reporters in Umuahia, according to a statement by the ministry’s Head of Information Department, Divine Nwankwo.

Mr Kanu said the church’s donation of the machine was in recognition of the ongoing transformation in the state’s health sector. The commissioner stressed that the MRI scanner will significantly improve the state’s diagnostic capacity. “The donation will complement medical services in state-of-the-art health facilities across the state and boost medical diagnosis,” he said.
