NEW
MATERNITY WARD FOR FMC, KEFFI
NASARAWA
State Government has promised to build a befitting Maternity
Ward for the Federal Medical Centre, Keffi.
The
State Governor, Alhaji Abdullahi Adamu made the promise when he
visited the centre on Monday, 12th Feb. 2001.
Speaking
after an unscheduled inspection tour of the centre, Governor
Adamu observed that the present maternity Ward at the medical
centre was too congested.
Governor
Adamu then requested the Medical Director to send a design of a
modern maternity ward, with a promise that the State Government
would begin the construction of such a ward as soon as the
design was made available to it.
The
Governor said that his administration believed in the principle
of co-operative governance pointing out that any Federal
institution established in the State would be assisted by his
government to enable it offer adequate service to the people.
He
said that the state government was still maintaining its staff
at the centre, which was formerly housing the Keffi General
Hospital, before its conversion into a Federal Medical Centre.
The
Governor expressed satisfaction with the tempo of renovation
work being executed at the medical centre, and expressed hope
that the state government would not regret handing-over the
General Hospital to be converted to a Federal Medical Centre.
Speaking earlier,
the Medical Director of the Centre, Dr. Danjuma Sulai commended
Governor Adamu for the support which his administration had
given to the centre.
Dr.
Sulai thanked the Nasarawa Government for particularly
purchasing a 500 KVA electrical transformer for use by the
Medical Centre.
The
Medical Director said the transformer has boosted power supply
to the centre, stressing that it would go a long way to boost
efficiency at the centre.
Dr.
Sulai assured that the Medical Centre would continue to strive
to provide services of high standard to the people.
