Governor Mohammed Abubakar of Bauchi State on Monday commissioned the State Government House Clinic.
The clinic, which was hitherto almost comatose, received a new lease of life as both its interiors and exteriors were renovated.
Prior to its refurbishment, the clinic was recommended for total overhaul by the State Ministries of Works and Health.
Abubakar, acting on the request, commissioned his personal physician, Dr. Nuhu Saleh, to carry out an indepth assessment of the clinic with a view to turning it around into a functional one.
Speaking at Monday’s commissioning, Saleh said the clinic is now refurbished and equipped to cater for all primary and major secondary healthcare needs of the Governor, his family, Government House Staff and their families.
He further stated that the clinic staff was drawn from both the Hospitals Management Board and the Primary Healthcare Development Agency.
The clinic boasts of skilled personnel drawn from the three Senatorial Districts of the state, Nurses, Laboratory Technicians, Medical Record Staff and Pharmacists among others.
Saleh that the clinic will operate from 8am to 8pm daily on weekdays, with an emergency staff always on standby.
Responding, Abubakar profusely thanked Saleh and his team for a job well done.
He promised to replicate equipment found in the clinic at public hospitals across the state.
Abubakar also expressed his happiness that the clinic is now functional and caters for not just his family but also the health of his staff and their families.
