The Commissioner for Health, Dr. Abubakar Labaran Yusuf, disclosed this during an unscheduled visit to the hospital, stressing that the decision to commence round-the-clock operations followed growing demand for emergency healthcare services from residents.
Dr. Yusuf explained that the facility will also be upgraded from a Primary Health Centre (PHC) to a General Hospital, citing the volume of patients it serves from Dala, Ungogo, and Gwale Local Government Areas.
After touring various departments within the hospital, the Commissioner noted that while some sections were operating efficiently, others faced operational challenges. He, however, praised the staff for their dedication and commitment to service delivery.
He assured that the state government will renovate the entire facility, recruit new personnel, and transition temporary workers into permanent and pensionable positions. He said these measures are intended to enhance service quality and boost staff morale.
The initiative forms part of the broader efforts by the Kano State Government to strengthen healthcare delivery at the grassroots and ensure accessible medical care across the state.
