Abia State Government has announced plans to construct two new isolation centres to boost its capacity in managing disease outbreaks.
During a recent Executive Council meeting, the Commissioner for Information revealed that the move is aimed at strengthening the state’s disease control infrastructure. While details on the centres’ locations are yet to be disclosed, the initiative underscores the administration’s commitment to bolstering public health preparedness.
The state is positioning these facilities to rapidly respond to infectious disease threats—continuing efforts such as the recent upgrades to existing primary healthcare centres and treatment sites. Local health authorities emphasized that the additions are part of an integrated strategy to improve surveillance, containment, and treatment of outbreaks.
The government also reassured residents that the project will align with best practices in infection control and will be supported by other health-sector reforms already in motion.
