Kaduna State Government said it has shut down its Government House Clinic in Kaduna and redeployed medical personnel to public hospitals.
Gov el-Rufai made this known in a statement issued by his Spokesman, Samuel Aruwan, said the drugs and equipment in the clinic have also been moved to the Yusuf Dansotho Hospital, Tudun Wada, Kaduna while Government House staff have been directed to henceforth use the Yusuf Dansotho Hospital for their medical needs.
The state government said these decisions were taken to boost the healthcare system in the state by moving medical personnel, drugs and equipment to public hospitals.
The statement reads in part: "There are not yet enough doctors in the public health system in Kaduna State. Therefore it is not prudent to assign doctors, nurses and other medical staff to serve Government House alone.
It is clearly more beneficial to the wider society if the services of these medical personnel were made available to the public in a general hospital. In addition, it is better that everyone working in the Government House uses the same health facilities as the general public.
"Medical personnel from the Government House Clinic have been redeployed to public hospitals in the state. All drugs and medical equipment in the Government House Clinic have also been evacuated and are being put to use at the Yusuf Dantsoho Hospital. From now on, all Government House staff requiring medical services will proceed to the nearest public hospital to the Government House like other citizens of the State".
