This was disclosed yesterday in a statement made available to journalists and signed by the head of Administration of the Medical Centre, Mr Ekpemu Rowland.
It could be recalled that on his appointment as MD, FMC, Umuahia on May 16, 2011, Dr. Chuku thought of a strategy to deliver on both his mandate and government’s transformation programme on health services.
His preferred approach was to enhance the capacity of medical doctors in critical health care areas through specialist training, improve facilities through the procurement of state of the art medical facilities, improve the hospital environment to make it conducive for both patients and staff and ensure industrial peace in FMC through the practice of good labour relations.
This approach has largely defined Dr. Chuku’s service at FMC, Umuahia.
He identified diabetes and heart disease among others as ailments that will continue to challenge medical practice in Nigeria.
At the Federal Medical Centre (FMC), Umuahia, Dr. Abali Chuku, is driving President Jonathan’s transformation in the health sector and  has turned the medical facility into a Centre of Excellence and a reference point in health care services going by the testimony of former minister of Health, Professor Onyebuchi Chukwu  and the present  minister of state for health, Engr. Fidelis Nwakwo.
Meanwhile, Dr. Chuku has been inducted into the International Medical Mission Hall of Fame in Ohio, USA and is the first Africa/black man to receive the award
