According to a report by Vanguard on September 9th, 2023, it was noted that during Obi's tenure as governor, his vision was in line with global developmental goals.
Under Obi's leadership, the healthcare sector experienced a complete revitalization. Prior to his tenure, Anambra had no accredited health institutions, but during his tenure, the state gained several, including two accredited hospitals.
Through Obi's collaboration with the church, institutions like Iyienu Hospital in Ogidi, Holy Rosary Hospital in Waterside, Onitsha, St. Charles Borromeo Hospital in Onitsha, and St. Joseph Hospital in Adazi-Nnukwu now have accredited Schools of Nursing, Schools of Midwifery, and Schools of Health Technology, as stated by Okunna.
Additionally, Obi provided significant support for the establishment of the School of Nursing at the Diocesan Hospital of Amichi Anglican Diocese. This support played a role in elevating Iyi-Enu Hospital to a University Teaching Hospital.
Furthermore, Obi's government initiated the construction of Chukwuemeka-Odumegwu Ojukwu Teaching Hospital from scratch, equipped it, and secured accreditation. His administration also built 10 new maternity and child care facilities in remote areas of the state, and purchased close to 100 ambulances for selected Anambra hospitals.
In addition to that, Obi ensured the rehabilitation of 15 General Hospitals in the three Senatorial Zones of the state and constructed over 120 Primary Health Centres across various communities.
The achievements of Obi's administration were so remarkable that he won the first prize in the Bill and Melinda Gates prize for Polio immunization.
The provost of the school, Mrs. Chisom Ezulike, expressed her gratitude for Obi's kind actions. She humbly mentioned that Obi generously provided her with his contact information, encouraging her to reach out at any time for discussions on the advancements and challenges faced by the institutions.
