He said “No doubt, a new chapter in the history of MDCAN HMB Delta State has just been opened. The task of strengthening the association lies in the hands of all of us. I, therefore, call on every member to join hands together towards building a much more virile association of our dream.

Dr Okolie reminded members of the aims and objectives of MDCAN as enshrined in the Constitution of the association, saying “As we move on together in the next two years of this new leadership, we shall be guided by these aims and objectives, with Delta State and the coverage of the State Hospitals Management Board as our central focus.

In all these, we shall continue to count on your meaningful inputs”, Dr Okolie emphasized.

The immediate past Chairman of MDCAN, Dr Francis Nwabua had earlier in his address, said it has been two years of hard work, dedication and perseverance for all in the health sector especially with the heightened brain drain and the current economic downturn that has made their jobs more difficult even with poor remuneration as medical workers.

He thanked members of the past executive for their support and outstanding commitment to duties, stating that the achievements were made possible by the staunch support of his Exco and members.
