Donald Duke's Women & Children Calabar Hospital Shut Down

The Women and Children's hospital owned by former Cross Rivers State Governor Donald Duke and his wife Onari Duke has been shut down.

The hospital which was commissioned in 2009 and situated along Murtala Mohammed Highway close to Ebrutu Baracks, Calabar, was shut down a few weeks back after Donald Duke and his wife visited the place and were disgusted by the state of the hospital. They immediately asked the place to be closed for refurbishment. The hospital staff was laid off and patients discharged and taken to other hospitals. No word yet on when the hospital, which is the most expensive hospital in Calabar, will be re-opened.
