To boost the healthcare system in Nigeria, the Federal Government (FG) and Adamawa government have recently signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for the conversion and handover of two state hospitals into federal clinics.
This was made known through the document signed by Deputy Director of Information and Public Relations, Alaba Balogun, on Monday, noting that Cottage Hospital Hong and General Hospital Mubi have been handed over to FG.
The Honourable Coordinating Minister for Health & Social Welfare, Prof. Ali Pate, acknowledged the importance of the initiative, which aligned with the renewed hope agenda of President Bola Tinubu.
Prof. Pate, represented by the Permanent Secretary Daju Kachollom, said the conversion of both clinics aims to upgrade, improve, and expand healthcare services for all Nigerians.
He added that the expansion will provide quality and safe health care services for the entire people of North East, including the neighbouring countries.
The Deputy Governor of Adamawa State, Prof. Kaletapwa Farauta, the chairman of the ceremony, hailed the FG for its strategic effort in upgrading the state’s health facilities.
She noted this achievement as Governor Ahmadu Fintiri’s utmost priority in the health sector.
Prof. Farauta reaffirmed Governor Fintiri’s commitment to revitalising the state health sector.
The State Commissioner for Health and Human Services Chief, Felix Tangwami, also praised and described the FG initiative as impactful efforts towards enhancing health care provision in Adamawa State.
