AKISEMSAS SENSITIZATION TOUR

In July last year, AKISEMSAS began a sensitization tour across the Local Government Areas of Akwa Ibom State with one simple mission — to ensure our people know that emergency help is available when it matters most.

Since then, we have visited communities, villages, schools, churches, and town gatherings. We have spoken on radio and television stations, spreading awareness about emergency preparedness and how to access our ambulance services.

We sincerely appreciate the people of Akwa Ibom. Your openness, cooperation, and willingness to listen made this journey possible. This progress would not have been achieved without you.

While we have reached many, there are still more communities and individuals to be sensitized. If you have received this message, please share it with others. Let us work together to ensure no one is left unaware.

We thank His Excellency, Pastor Umo Eno, Governor of Akwa Ibom State, and the Honourable Commissioner for Health for their continued support and commitment to strengthening emergency medical services across the state.

For medical emergencies, call 08000022322 | 08000022422.

Yesterday, along Udo Udoma Avenue by Aka Junction, Uyo, a young lady reportedly slumped while attempting to cross the road. What could have ended in tragedy was quickly brought under control.

A good Samaritan called state’s emergency ambulance service, and within minutes, our response team arrived and provided immediate medical attention.

This timely intervention reflects the positive impact of the health sector reforms under Governor Umo Eno, and clearly shows the value this administration places on human life. It is another demonstration of commitment to people‑centred governance and the implementation of impactful programmes under the ARISE Agenda.

We commend our emergency responders for their professionalism and swift action, and we pray for continued strength and wisdom for our dear Governor as he leads with compassion and foresight.
