She prayed unto God to give her family, friends and ANPA members the fortitude to bear the irreplaceable loss and grant her soul eternal rest.

Dr Uzona Nwaubani, a US-based Nigerian physician, was in Abia State for a medical mission organised by ANPA as a way of giving back to the Country, unfortunately, she developed a medical emergency and despite all efforts by the highly skilled medical team to resuscitate her, she could not make it.
