Former Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has visited the Mother of Christ Specialist Hospital in Enugu State following a recent fire incident that affected parts of the facility.
Obi arrived at the hospital today Friday to show solidarity with the management and staff, weeks after the fire outbreak disrupted operations and caused damage to sections of the building. His visit is understood to be part of his continued engagement with health institutions across Nigeria, particularly those facing infrastructural and emergency challenges.
The visit drew attention from hospital staff and patients, many of whom welcomed his presence as a morale boost during the ongoing recovery and rehabilitation process. Obi was reportedly briefed by the hospital management on the extent of the damage caused by the fire and the steps being taken to restore full operations.
Located in Enugu State, the Mother of Christ Specialist Hospital is a key private healthcare facility serving residents of the region. The recent fire incident had raised concerns about safety standards and emergency preparedness in healthcare institutions, prompting renewed calls for improved infrastructure and preventive measures.
During his visit, Obi emphasized the importance of supporting critical health institutions and ensuring that patients continue to receive uninterrupted care despite unforeseen setbacks. He also commended the resilience of the hospital’s staff, who have been working to stabilize services since the incident.
