Nasarawa Assembly Urges Action on Hospital Conditions

The Nasarawa State House of Assembly has called on Governor Abdullahi Sule to instruct the state Ministry of Health and the Hospitals Management Board to send sufficient medical personnel to the General Hospital in Nasarawa Local Government Area. This resolution was made during a plenary session on Wednesday in Lafia, where Speaker Danladi Jatau emphasized the importance of addressing the hospital's manpower and infrastructural challenges.

Hon. Hajarat Danyaro, who represents Nasarawa Central Constituency, raised concerns about the hospital's dire state, reporting a severe shortage of staff, with only one doctor and a nurse available for numerous patients. She described the hospital as dilapidated, lacking basic amenities such as electricity and water, and urged for urgent action, including a state of emergency declaration.

Jatau directed the Clerk of the House to communicate this resolution to Governor Sule for necessary action.
