Coalition defends Asaba specialist hospital chief amid smear campaign

Speaking on behalf of the coalition, Coordinator Mabel Egege dismissed the allegations against Dr. Ighosewe as baseless and malicious.

She asserted that the attacks stemmed from envy over the hospital’s significant progress under her leadership.

“The smear campaign against Dr Ighosewe is clearly driven by jealousy. Her administration has brought remarkable improvements to Asaba Specialist Hospital, making it a leading healthcare facility in Delta State,” Egege stated.

The coalition praised Dr Ighosewe’s achievements, particularly her expansion of hospital infrastructure and commitment to quality healthcare services.

Under her tenure, the hospital has built new waiting areas for children, antenatal, general outpatient, and dental clinics.

Additionally, the maternity ward has been expanded, easing overcrowding and improving maternal care.

“As mothers, we have firsthand experience with this hospital. Many of us have received free maternal care, including cesarean sections, and we’ve seen how the maternity ward has improved significantly,” Egege noted.

“Dr. Ighosewe’s leadership has truly transformed the facility.”

They urged the Delta State Government to continue supporting Dr Ighosewe’s initiatives to ensure that Asaba Specialist Hospital remains a beacon of quality healthcare in the region.

The coalition called on the public to disregard unfounded allegations and instead recognize Dr Ighosewe’s contributions to the healthcare sector.
