The people of Kogi State have continued to hail the determination of the Governor, Alhaji Yahaya Bello to address the rot in the healthcare sector of the state.

“We are beginning to have a government that cares about the welfare of the people. I urge the Governor to still pay similar visits to other health institutions in the state with a view to ascertaining why the sector is in comatose”.

Also, a senior nurse at the hospital who craved anonymity said the Governor should move further by employing more nurses and doctors as well as other para-medical staff to fortify the sector. She hailed the humanitarian  disposition of the Governor who pledged to offset the bills of patients in the maternity ward of the hospital.

The visit to the Specialist Hospital and the actions taken there were aimed at repositioning the institution to give quality healthcare to the people of the state.

“Governor Yahaya Bello has a clear agenda to ensure efficient health care delivery to the Kogi people. He has started implementing his agenda and action plans aimed at strengthening public health institutions in the state”.
