In his acceptance speech, Chairman MDCAN, Delta State HMB chapter, Dr. Philemon Okolie, on behalf of the new executive appreciated their colleagues for the confidence reposed on them and assured a new dawn in the association.

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.

“Let me sincerely appreciate the immediate past executive led by Dr. Francis Nwabua for all the novel innovations and achievements within the past two years. It is pertinent to inform you that this new executive has decided to sustain and improve on the laudable programmes of the past Exco, implement plans that were not achieved while initiating other new ones which shall be unveiled in due course. 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.
