Francis Ogbonna Nwifuru, FNIOB, FCAI, GGCEHF, for strengthening emergency healthcare delivery through the distribution of brand-new ambulances to General Hospitals across the state's 13 local government areas.
In a statement made available to journalists, Nwedu described the initiative as a significant milestone in the Nwifuru administration's efforts to improve access to quality healthcare and ensure prompt emergency medical response for residents across Ebonyi State.

He explained that the initiative has continued to provide critical support for the transportation of accident victims, expectant mothers, elderly patients, and other vulnerable persons requiring urgent medical attention, thereby strengthening healthcare delivery across the state.
According to him, Governor Nwifuru's investment in the health sector demonstrates an understanding that quality healthcare remains one of the most important responsibilities of government and a key driver of sustainable development.
The EBSIRS board member further observed that the distribution of ambulances complements other healthcare interventions of the administration aimed at improving medical infrastructure, supporting healthcare professionals, and expanding access to essential health services throughout Ebonyi State.
Nwedu described Governor Nwifuru as a compassionate and visionary leader whose people-centred policies continue to translate into tangible improvements in the lives of citizens.
He added that the continued impact of the ambulance initiative stands as evidence of an administration committed to turning promises into practical results while ensuring that the health and well-being of Ebonyians remain a top priority.
