Mr. Peter Obi, the Labour Party Presidential candidate in the 2023 election and Prof. Philip Ozuah, CEO of Mentefiore Medicines, USA have donated N25 Million to the Immaculate Heart Mission health center at Mmiata Anam in Anambra West Local Government Area of Anambra State.

The former Anambra State Governor said the donation was made during their visit to the area on Friday.
In a statement posted on his official X (Twitter) page, Obi disclosed that the donation was part of his efforts to support critical areas of development such as health, education and poverty alleviation across Nigeria.

According to him, the hospital he visited at Mmiata was one of the IHM Health System vital healthcare facility providing essential services to people in the remote rural communities in the state.

He wrote: “The IHM Health System is managed by the Immaculate Heart Sisters. With the support of a kind-hearted Nigerian, Prof. Ozuah, I donated N75 million to their Specialist Hospital in Nkpor last year.

“To further support the remarkable work they are doing especially in rural areas like Mmiata-Anam, where their facility which I handed to them while serving as Governor has now been greatly improved, expanded. It is the only hospital that serves this area of the state.

“Prof Ozuah and I donated additional 25M for their selfless efforts to humanity. For anyone who has followed my journey in public service, I have consistently maintained that investing in critical areas such as health, education, and poverty alleviation through support for small businesses and humanitarian gestures remains the most effective path to national growth and development.
