The Abia State government has called on the people of Obingwa and its environs to effectively make use of the Nenu Specialist Hospital, an annex of Abia State University Teaching Hospital that is located at Nenu in Obingwa Local Government Area of the State.
Speaking during a facility tour of the hospital, the Commissioner for Health, Prof. Ogbonnaya Uche, represented by the Chief Medical Director of
Abịa State University Teaching Hospital Aba, Prof. Uzoma Nduka, during a facility tour of the hospital.
Prof. Ogbonnaya, represented by the Chief Medical Director of Abia State University Teaching Hospital Aba, Prof. Uzoma Nduka, noted with delight that the edifice has expanded beyond what was envisioned at the inception of the partnership through the signing of an MoU between ABSUTH and Nenu community on the specialist hospital.
The Commissioner while commending the community for their cooperation since the inception of the hospital, revealed that ABSUTH has scaled through all their accreditations and described the partnership as one that has yielded desired results and as such, has come to stay.
He named some of the sophisticated equipment in the hospital to include ECG, theatre, labour Ward, ultrasound Scan, among others, arguing that such equipment are not commonly available in most rural hospitals.
Prof Ogbonnaya, therefore, encouraged Nenu people, as well as people from the environs to make use of the facility saying they cant have such and yet won’t utilize the healthcare services offered.
In his speech, the Mayor, Obingwa Local Government Area, Honourable Maxwell Nwadike, pointed out that there was remarkable improvement compared to what he saw the last time he visited and described it as transformative.
He however commended the entire community, and particularly a former Deputy Governor of Abia State, Dr. Chris Akomas for the edifice, saying that one can hardly see this type in any local government area, describing him as an Iroko tree that needs to remain standing for a long time to come because of his inputs in the development of his community.
In his remarks during the occasion, the National Chairman of Forum of Former Deputy Governors of Nigeria, Dr. Chris Akomas, expressed gratitude to God for the collective efforts and support of Nenu people, while emphasizing that the vision is getting clearer, with an Automated Laboratory that is functional, as well as a pharmacy stocked with drugs. 
The former Deputy Governor of the state promised that other equipment like MRI, is billed to be installed very soon even as he invited people to come and have the best medical services at the hospital, while disclosing that the vision of the health facility started very early when he told them that the facility won’t be a health Centre but a General Hospital.
