Senator Sunday Marshall Katung, representing the Southern Kaduna Senatorial District, introduced a bill to establish a Federal Teaching Hospital in Manchok, Kaduna State. The Senate passed the bill on Wednesday, bringing the proposed healthcare institution one step closer to reality. The bill was approved after the Senate Committee on Health (Secondary and Tertiary) examined the provisions, consulted legal experts, and reviewed the proposal clause by clause.
The proposed hospital aims to serve as a teaching facility for the Federal University of Applied Sciences, Kachia, and enhance medical education and healthcare delivery in Kaduna State and the country. Presenting the committee's report, Senator Abdul Ningi emphasized that the hospital would address the shortage of medical personnel and improve healthcare services across the nation.
The Senate Minority Leader, Senator Abba Moro, supported the bill, and the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, commended the committee for its role in the bill's successful consideration. The legislation will now be sent to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for assent.
