The minister urged the new CMD to consolidate and improve on his predecessor’s achievement to justify the confidence reposed in him by the Federal Government.

“It is expected that you work collaboratively with all relevant stakeholders to ensure that the hospital continues to deliver quality health care services to our people,” he said.

He noted that what is lacking in the hospital is not the equipment but hygiene, adding that unsanitary condition drives people away.

The minister urged the new CMD to improve on hygiene and other sanitary conditions at the hospital and its environs (NAN).
