Zamfara State Governor, Dauda Lawal has reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to ensure that projects of utmost importance are given the highest priority.
Lawal made the commitment while inaugurating the renovated general hospital in Maru Local Government Area.
This was according to a statement on Sunday by the spokesperson to the governor, Sulaiman Idris.
The statement noted that Lawal’s administration is in the process of renovating and equipping all the general hospitals across the state.
It added that while inspecting the infrastructure and the advanced medical equipment provided at the Maru General Hospital, Governor Lawal stated that his mission was to provide a state-of-the-art healthcare environment that caters to the needs of the people by ensuring that quality medical services are accessible and affordable to all.
He said, “The renovation works carried out in this hospital include upgrading the facilities to ensure that the people of Maru and its environs have access to decent healthcare. The renovation has modernised the physical structure and integrated advanced medical technologies and systems.
“This holistic approach ensures that the General Hospital Maru is well-equipped to handle various medical conditions, from routine check-ups to complex surgeries. The staff in this hospital are now better equipped to deliver care services that meet the highest standards.
“Our mission is to provide a state-of-the-art healthcare environment that caters to the needs of our people by ensuring that quality medical services are accessible and affordable to all. Aside from the renovation, this project includes providing 39-kilowatt solar power to ensure a reliable power supply to the hospital, which is crucial for the continuous operation of medical equipment and the comfort of patients.
“In addition, 35 streetlights have been installed at various locations of the hospital premises and its surroundings to enhance security and visibility, making the hospital environment safer for everyone. I sincerely hope that the people of Maru and the entire Zamfara State will fully utilise these facilities. I have directed the Ministry of Health to take adequate measures to maintain the hospital and its continuous operation.”
