PRESS STATEMENT
Rivers APC Reacts To Deaths Of Over 50 Infants, Vows To Unfold Health Sector Roadmap TO Takle Infant & Child Mortality.
The All Progressives Congress in Rivers State and its Governorship candidate has reacted to the mass deaths of infants in a part of the state and has thus vowed to unfold a comprehensive roadmap for the health sector in the state to tackle infant/child mortality and other health needs of the people of Rivers state.
The reaction to the reported death of over 50 children in the Kugbo Clan of Abua/Odual LGA of Rivers State is as a result of reported measles outbreak, something the party feels is preventable if a robust healthcare policy programme were in place
The APC sympathizes with the bereaved families and the Abua people over these tragic losses.
Sadly, this tragedy has exposed the challenges of access to portable water, proper sanitation and hygiene in the affected area.
The APC in Rivers State has already positioned itself as an alternative hope for the masses with the array of credible candidates it has presented Rivers people and the choices are easy for Rivers people to make.
We commit to building a strong economy for the state, reduce poverty by providing jobs for our people beyond party or ethnic lines.
An APC government in Rivers State shall invest massively in the health sector and cater to the welfare of health professionals across all strata. We shall be proactive to the health needs of our people by setting up Standard Disease Control Units and strengthen the primary healthcare delivery system in all 23 local government areas of the state inorder to drastically reduce incidences of mortalities in the rural areas or reduce it's scale of damage.
