“This bill is about saving lives and ensuring access to quality healthcare,” Raji stated during the plenary session.
The bill received strong support from lawmakers, who noted its potential to reduce pressure on existing medical centers in Lagos State.
With the bill moving past its second reading, it will proceed to the committee stage for further scrutiny and possible amendments.
Meanwhile, Epe residents have expressed optimism and gratitude, hoping for swift progress and eventual implementation of the proposed medical center.
The Federal Medical Center is expected to enhance medical research, training, and healthcare services, transforming the healthcare landscape in Epe.
The healthcare infrastructure in Epe has long been inadequate, with residents often traveling long distances for medical care.
Establishing the center will bring specialized healthcare services closer to the community, improving overall health outcomes.
The center will also create job opportunities, boosting the local economy and attracting healthcare professionals to the region.
As the bill progresses, stakeholders will engage in consultations to ensure the medical center meets the community’s needs.
Rep. Raji remains committed to advocating for the project, urging fellow lawmakers to prioritize healthcare development in underserved areas.
