He praised the Chief Medical Director, Prof. Muhammad Mahmud, and the management team for sustaining the hospital’s mission despite operational challenges.
He further pledged to mobilize additional support from well-meaning Nigerians, noting that contributions to the hospital are direct investments in the nation’s health and well-being.
In his remarks, the Chief Medical Director. Prof. Muhammad Mahmud thanked the Governor for the gesture, describing him as a compassionate and visionary leader.
He reaffirmed the hospital’s readiness to partner with the Kogi State government in medical training and other initiatives aligned with the Governor’s vision for the health sector.
