The Anambra Health Supervisors across 21 local governments in Anambra State presented a prestigious Award of Excellence to Hon. Rome Ibekwe (Ezeugo), Mayor of Anaocha Local Government Area, on August 5, 2025. This recognition highlights Mayor Ibekwe's dedication to improving healthcare services in the community.
Hon. Ibekwe has been instrumental in enhancing healthcare delivery in Anaocha through various initiatives. Notably, he enrolled over 1,000 residents into the Anambra State Health Insurance Scheme (ASHIA), providing them with access to quality medical services. This initiative, carried out in partnership with St. Cletus Hospital, Neni, targeted vulnerable populations, including the elderly, pregnant women, and children.


The ASHIA scheme offers healthcare services at highly subsidized rates, making them accessible to all. By doing so, Hon. Ibekwe's administration aims to reduce cases of untimely deaths caused by lack of funds and improve overall healthcare outcomes in the community. This initiative aligns with Governor Chukwuma Soludo's agenda of providing free maternal and child healthcare.
The Award of Excellence presented to Hon. Ibekwe is a testament to his tireless efforts in promoting healthcare excellence in Anaocha. His commitment to serving the people has earned him recognition and appreciation from the Anambra Health Supervisors.
The award serves as a motivation for Hon. Ibekwe to continue his good work in improving the lives of the people of Anaocha.
