Saturday, August 13, 2022, was the birthday of Associate Professor Joseph Ugboaja, Chief Medical Director of Nnamdi Azikiwe University Teaching Hospital (NAUTH), Nnewi, Anambra State, who took over leadership of the health institution only a year ago.
The birthday bash was sponsored by a Nnewi-born industrialist, Dr Innocent Chukwuma, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Innoson Group, and was garnished by a committee of friends in appreciation of Associate Professor Ugboaja’s laudable achievements in a year in office.
The ceremony, which took place at Dr Chukwuma’s residence, drew a large number of other NAUTH friends and well-wishers from Nnewi and beyond.
Ugboaja’s administrative prowess has endeared him to private individuals and corporate organizations who want to identify with him to be part of the success story of the new NAUTH.
When Associate Prof Ugboaja came on board as the substantive CMD last year, he swore to make the hospital one of the best top five in Nigeria and indeed the African sub-region.
To match his words with action, Ugboaja hit the ground running with massive infrastructural developments and innovative administrative display at the NAUTH permanent site without losing sight of staff welfare which has, to a large extent, made the health institution to enjoy industrial peace and smooth administration.
At every point in time Ugboaja proves his commitment to lift the hospital to an enviable position and make good his promise to convert it to a world class health institution across Nigeria and beyond spiced with good human relations.

He has said it on a number of times that the people of South East, by the time he is done, would not need to travel abroad for medicare since they can be adequately taken care of at the new emerging NAUTH.
The Accident and Emergency unit as well as the ICU are no longer what they used to be. They now have a world class outlook to suit the standard obtained anywhere around the globe. Indeed every other unit has been affected by this wind of change, a holistic change NAUTH has never experienced as an institution before now.
Associate Prof Ugboaja at the event had reiterated his commitment to make Nnewi known the more in entire Africa and beyond.
Climax of the event were cutting of birthday cake, presentation of gifts from friends and well-wishers and words of commendation.
