Wife of Rivers State Governor, Justice Suzzette Nyesom-Wike has commended medical professionals for always sacrificing their time and lives to serve the people.
Speaking at the University of Port Harcourt Teaching Hospital on New Year Day when she visited the New Year baby, Justice Suzzette Nyesom-Wike said that the medical professionals deserve support from members of the public, rather than being objects of attack by criminals.
She thanked God for the successful delivery of the New Year babies in the hospital.
She said: “My first day of this year started with a visit to the University of Port Harcourt Teaching Hospital (UPTH) where I met with the parents of the first child born in that hospital this year. They are Mr. Achus and Mrs. Boma Harrison and their baby girl, (also their first child) was born at 1.50am and weighed 3kgs. They are Rivers State indigenes from Abonnema in Akukutoru Local Government Area.
“Both proud parents and the child are well and happy and recieved gifts on behalf of their babygirl. We were informed that a set of twin boys were born 15 minutes before midnight and their mother as well as every other new mother in the maternity ward were also visited.”
She commended the medical team of the UPTH for their professionalism, praying that God will strengthen them in 2016 to serve the people diligently.
