The Kano State Hospitals Management Board has sacked the Chief Medical Officers of Imam Wali General Hospital, Abubakar Imam Urology Centre and Nuhu Bamalli Maternity Hospital.
The Executive Secretary of the Board, Dr. Mansur Nagoda, also approved the suspension of all doctors and nurses who were on duty for the evening and night shifts on Sunday, 30July, 2023.
This is contained in a statement issued by the Board’s Public Relations Officer, Samira Sulaiman and made available to newsmen late on the night of Monday 31 July, 2023.
The statement said the Executive Secretary’s decision was taken following the negligence of duty by the affected staff, just as it also added that the medical officers in question failed in their duties by absconding from work and leaving patients in the hands of students.
“The Board will not condone negligence, late-coming, absconding from duty posts from any medical worker, anyone found wanting will face sanctions in accordance with the civil service rules and regulations.”
Nagoda enjoined other hospitals to buckle up as all facilities would be monitored closely to revive the health sector of the state for effective delivery to the people.
