Recognizing the value of traditional medicine, two new laws—Anambra State Herbal Practice Law, 2024 and Anambra State Indigenous Traditional Medicine Practices Law, 2025—were also enacted to integrate and regulate indigenous medical practices within the state’s healthcare system.

In the health education sector, the Anambra State Mission Schools of Nursing and Midwifery (Amendment No. 2) Law, 2025 was signed to raise the standards of nursing and midwifery training, ensuring better healthcare delivery in the long term.

“These laws are strategic instruments that will support our development agenda, improve the lives of our people, and lay the groundwork for a brighter future,” Soludo stated.

With these legal frameworks now in place, Anambra State is poised to witness transformative strides in governance, investment, security, healthcare, and education.
