Borno State Governor Prof. Babagana Umara Zulum recently commissioned and handed over a 42-room patients' apartment to the University of Maiduguri Teaching Hospital (UMTH). The governor emphasized that this facility aims to ease the burden on patients' relatives and visitors who often journey long distances to seek specialized medical care at UMTH.
This latest gesture follows Zulum's previous actions, such as providing N100 million to address the hospital's funding gaps for medical consumables and other necessities, as well as constructing 24 three-bedroom apartments for medical staff to tackle housing shortages and keep doctors closer to their patients.
Furthermore, Zulum has allocated N1 billion to support kidney transplant and maternal health services at the hospital and released another N500 million in aid following the 2024 flood disaster. Professor Ahmed Ahidjo, UMTH's chief medical director, expressed gratitude to the governor, praising him for his continuous support towards healthcare development in the region.
