The Rivers State Ministry of Health has confirmed
the release of funds for the continuous running of
the free health care programme of the state
government.
The State Commissioner for Health, Sampson
Parker made this known to newsmen in Port
Harcourt.
Parker said the state government released the sum
of one billion naira as an intervention fund to meet
the agitation of the health workers that went on
strike at the Braithwaite Memorial Specialist
Hospital, BMSH.
He said “It is true we went through some real
turbulent periods with our doctors going on strike
and downing tools. The reason was simple,
‘money don finish’. As human beings, we do go
through wavy periods but we come out of it
stronger.
