“The visit facilitated for me to see for myself the level of compliance to the State government’s directives on how best the management and staff can improve their services for the betterment of the citizens.”
At the Damba Covid-19 Diseases Control Centre, the Deputy Governor inspected the wards and all the available equipment and directed the immediate handing over of the facility by the Ministry of Works to the Ministry of Health for onward preparations for the conversion of the Centre to the status of General Hospital.
Senator Hassan Nasiha further issued a two-week ultimatum to ensure the immediate take-off of the Centre as a General Hospital and warned that the administration of Governor Bello Muhammad Matawalle would not tolerate the mismanagement of public properties.
“Taking into consideration the increase in population in the State capital and its environs, the newly approved General Hospital Damba is expected to complement the other existing facilities in Gusau. This is because it will cater for the health care delivery of people from Mada, Ruwan Bore, Wonaka, Damba, and other villages in the surroundings.”
