West Africa is set to benefit from a substantial investment in healthcare, with the launch of a state-of-the-art medical complex. The facility will offer a comprehensive range of medical services, making it easier for people to get the care they need.
This will help alleviate the burden on existing healthcare facilities and improve overall healthcare delivery.
In a meeting with newsmen in Owerri, Dr. Nwokie underscored his unwavering dedication to the welfare of his community. As he toured the project site, he highlighted his resolve to make a tangible difference in the lives of his fellow citizens.
Dr. Nwokie explained that the research centre is focused on pushing the boundaries of medical science and expanding treatment options for patients in Nigeria.

Dr. Nwokie further revealed that a state-of-the-art morgue will be established, offering world-class mortuary services and bridging a significant gap in the region’s healthcare infrastructure.
“This morgue which is 90 per cent ready also comes with a chapel for funeral mass aims to drastically cut down funeral expenses.
He emphasized that if every wealthy Nigerian invested in healthcare, the need to seek medical treatment abroad would significantly decrease.
“This, in turn, would make quality medical care accessible to all, including the underprivileged, at an affordable cost.
“This project which will gulp $200million is more than just a building; it’s a commitment to the people of Imo State and the surrounding states. I have always believed that access to quality healthcare is a fundamental right, and with this facility, we are taking a significant step towards ensuring that right for everyone in this region,” he said.
Nwokie, who has spent years contributing to various social and economic development projects across Nigeria, emphasized the importance of giving back to the community that raised him.
