The City of Belleville announced the signing of a new doctor to its Doctor Recruitment Program.
Dr. Ukemeobong Michael Uwah has just started his practice at the Great Lakes Walk-In Clinic in Belleville.
He will roster his own patients and see walk-in clients.
“Dr. Uwah, most recently from the United Kingdom has just moved to Belleville and is in the process of setting up his practice and is getting settled in a home here. He has great experience as a family physician and is ready to welcome patients at the Great Lakes Family Clinic,” said Belleville Mayor Neil Ellis in a press release.
“Council is pleased that we have been able to recruit Dr. Uwah – he has already started providing exceptional care to our residents at the clinic and we look forward to seeing him build a prosperous career here in Belleville.”
Dr. Uwah also commented on signing with the City of Belleville.
“I have had the pleasure of learning and practising in other countries and I’m so pleased I can settle in a beautiful and welcoming community like Belleville. Belleville feels like my ‘Bethlehem’ where I’m born into the Canadian Healthcare System,” said Dr Uwah in the release.
“I look forward to passionately serving the residents of Belleville and strengthening our healthcare in the years to come. My family and I are committed to establishing our roots in this community.”
