A 14-member Technical Planning Committee will be established to oversee the Ogoni Specialist Hospital’s launch and operation in the Tai Local Government Area of Rivers State.
The 100-bed medical facility’s construction is now complete, according to the HYPREP Corporate Headquarters in Port Harcourt, which held the ceremony.
Nenibarini Zabbey, the project coordinator for HYPREP, cited the specialist hospital as one of the UNEP’s (UNEP) key recommendations for meeting the Ogoni people’s long-term public health needs.
The Technical Planning Committee’s inauguration has become a spigot to help the Project Coordination Office meet its established timelines for the facility’s operation, according to Zabbey.

He said, “This committee has been carefully constituted with multidisciplinary experts to provide professional guidance on the hospital’s operationalization and long-term sustainability.”
Your knowledge and experience will be crucial in shaping the hospital’s organizational structure, services, and overall direction to ensure that it serves the Ogoni people’s best interests and contributes to the country’s public health landscape.
