Deputy Majority Leader of the House and member representing Orumba-North state constituency , Hon.Emeka Aforka said the new law was timely as it would help foster quality healthcare services for the citizenry .

Aforka also emphasized that the new law establishing the teaching hospital has made it an institution with the necessary prerequisites to train and groom new doctors and nurses that would attend to the health needs of the populace .
