Governor Fubara Transforming Rumuigbo Neuropsychiatric Hospital into Modern Medical Hub

Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara is transforming the Neuropsychiatric Hospital in Rumuigbo, Port Harcourt, into a modern medical hub through an ongoing rehabilitation, expansion and reconstruction project.

The upgrade, which began in March 2024, is aimed at converting the old psychiatric facility into a modern neuropsychiatric treatment and rehabilitation centre that will also function as a General Hospital serving residents of Obio-Akpor Local Government Area and nearby communities.

When the first phase is completed, the hospital’s bed capacity will increase to 100, improving the state’s ability to care for patients with neuropsychiatric conditions.

The project includes the construction of a conference hall and ICT centre, 18 self-contained hostel units, 12 units of two-bedroom staff quarters, a drug storage facility, cafeteria, mini-supermarket, morgue and other support facilities.

The project is being executed by Monier Construction Company Nigeria Limited as part of the Rivers State Government’s broader efforts to strengthen healthcare infrastructure across the state.
