Kaduna state governor, Nasir El-Rufai, has shut down the Government House Clinic in Kaduna and deployed its medical personnel to public hospitals. A statement by the media aide to El-Rufai, Samuel Aruwan yesterday April 17th, states that the decision to shut down the government house clinic and move its personnel were taken to boost the healthcare system in the state.
"There are not yet enough doctors in the public health system in Kaduna State. Therefore it is not prudent to assign doctors, nurses and other medical staff to serve Government House alone. It is clearly more beneficial to the wider society if the services of these medical personnel were made available to the public in a general hospital. In addition, it is better that everyone working in the Government House uses the same health facilities as the general public.
Medical personnel from the Government House Clinic have been redeployed to public hospitals in the state. All drugs and medical equipment in the Government House Clinic have also been evacuated and are being put to use at the Yusuf Dantsoho Hospital".
