Abia Tower at the entire to Umuahia City
The Chairman of Umuahia North Local Government Area of Abia State, Mayor Victor Ikeji has criticised the delayed treatment of patients whose cases require urgent attention.
The patients, he said, included accident and gunshot victims.
Ikeji, who said this during a meeting he held in his office with owners of private medical facilities in Umuahia North council, advised the medical practitioners to keep to their professional oath of saving lives, saying that lives should be placed above money.
The local government chairman frowned that some patients were not attended to because of non-deposit of initial payment.
