The Abia State Government has issued a stern warning to optometrists working in state-owned medical institutions, prohibiting them from diverting patients to their private clinics. This directive was given by Dr. Betty Emeka-Obasi, Administrator of the Abia State Eye Health Management Bureau, during the maiden meeting of optometrists in the state's civil service.


Dr. Emeka-Obasi emphasized that any optometrist found guilty of patient diversion will face strict sanctions. She highlighted that the Abia State Eye Health Management Bureau was established by Governor Alex Otti's administration to provide affordable, standardized, and accessible eye-care services to all citizens.


The Administrator also urged optometrists and other medical personnel to demonstrate commitment and professionalism by reporting to work daily and avoiding absenteeism. She reminded them that the Bureau was established by an Executive Order on July 15, 2024, to focus on the eye care sector.


Mrs. Okoroafor Ngozi Uche, Director of Administration at the Abia State Ministry of Health, echoed Dr. Emeka-Obasi's sentiments, calling for punctuality and adherence to work ethics. She expressed disappointment over reports of absenteeism and early departures among some medical personnel.


In response, Dr. Emmanuel Nwaji, an optometrist, appreciated the Administrator for organizing the meeting and assured her that they would uphold civil service rules and diligently carry out their duties to improve eye-care services in the state.
