An ultra-modern cardiovascular specialist hospital built by an Indian organisation is the talk of the town in Adukwu Ebe, a rural community in Udi Local Government Area of Enugu State.
The facility, named Aruike Specialist Hospital, was built by Sri Sathya Sai Health and Education Trust in collaboration with another organisation, Hard Rock Cafe and House of Blues.
Catholic Church Rev Father Charles Aloma Ogada, who lives in India, facilitated the project and its siting in his hometown.
The commissioning attracted a large crowd from the Indian community as well as a throng of excited local residents.
The locals were thrilled that such a life-saving facility is in their backyard.
Though a specialist centre for heart diseases, the hospital also caters to general interest including antenatal.
One great thing about the hospital is that treatment is free, said chairman of the organisation, C. Screenivas.
A community leader Ethelbert Agu said they were “happy the world-class hospital is in our community.”
