A statement on Sunday by the governor’s spokesperson, Sulaiman Bala Idris, noted that the government is in the process of renovating and equipping all general hospitals across the 14 local government areas.
The statement said that Governor Lawal inspected the infrastructure and the advanced medical equipment provided at the Maru General Hospital.
In his remarks, Governor Lawal said his government’s mission was to provide a state-of-the-art healthcare environment that caters to the needs of people by ensuring that quality medical services are accessible and affordable to all.
He said, “The renovation works carried out in this hospital include upgrading the facilities to ensure that the people of Maru and its environs have access to decent healthcare.
“The renovation has modernised the physical structure and integrated advanced medical technologies and systems.
“This holistic approach ensures that the General Hospital Maru is well-equipped to handle various medical conditions, from routine check-ups to complex surgeries.
“The staff in this hospital are now better equipped to deliver care services that meet the highest standards.
“Our mission is to provide a state-of-the-art healthcare environment that caters to the needs of our people by ensuring that quality medical services are accessible and affordable to all.
