Deaths are reported often due to accidents.
If we all pledge to be responsible on
roads,a lot of such deaths can be avoided.
When such accident happens, one needs to
understand that the time lapse between
accident and the time when the victim gets
the medical attention in hospital, to a large
extent, determine the fate of the victims.
Earlier in the week, the State Governor Dr.
Okezie Ikpeazu encountered a road
accident on his way to work.
He ordered his convoy to stop so as to
attend to the victims as well as help them to
get instant medical attention.
It was at that point that he directed his
Special Assistance on Health Matters, Felix
Chinwendu Joe (Ezumezu) to take the
victims to the hospital.
Working on Governor’s directive,
Chinwendu has constantly visited the
victims at the Hospital, also made a deposit
for their treatment and promised to take
care of the balance when they are
discharged from the hospital.
Majority of deaths take place because of
lack of emergency medical care within the
first crucial hour of the accident, that is
why the Government of Abia State made
provision for ambulances at strategic
positions on the highway.
It is therefore in our best interest to drive
carefully to avoid accidents on the road.
