Michael Olugbode in Abuja Borno State Governor, Prof. Babagana Zulum, has deepened his administration’s intervention in healthcare delivery with the commissioning and handover of a newly constructed 42-room patients’ apartment
Borno State Governor, Prof. Babagana Zulum, has strengthened healthcare services in the region by commissioning and transferring a 42-room patients’ apartment to the University of Maiduguri Teaching Hospital (UMTH). Constructed and financed by the Borno State Government, the facility aims to accommodate relatives and visitors of patients from distant parts of the state and neighboring communities.
Zulum highlighted the project as part of his administration's commitment to enhancing healthcare infrastructure and improving patient and family experiences during medical treatment. This latest addition to UMTH's facilities follows earlier interventions, such as a N100 million allocation to address funding gaps for medical supplies and other critical needs, as well as the construction of 24 three-bedroom apartments for health workers to ease accommodation challenges.
The governor's support extends beyond healthcare, with initiatives like providing infrastructure and housing for the University of Maiduguri and distributing patrol vehicles to security agencies. UMTH's Chief Medical Director, Prof. Ahmed Ahidjo, expressed gratitude for Zulum's sustained support, noting the positive impact on the hospital's ability to serve patients and provide a comfortable working environment for medical personnel.
