WHO Commends Kano State for Health Personnel Recruitment

The World Health Organization (WHO) praised Kano State's health reforms during the launch of appointment letters for 2,037 newly recruited clinical and non-clinical health personnel at the Kano State Government House. WHO Representative in Kano, Dr. Sunusi Abubakar Mayana, noted that this recruitment reflects Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf’s dedication to enhancing healthcare delivery and addressing the human resources gap in the state.

He emphasized that development partners aim to support government initiatives rather than compete with them, asserting that these efforts will positively impact families across Kano. UNICEF Representative in Kano, Dr. Muhammadu Damish, also commended the government for investing in human resources to improve access to quality medical services.

The Nigeria Medical Association lauded Governor Yusuf for transforming primary healthcare facilities and upgrading secondary healthcare institutions, which will enhance medical training and specialized services. Other organizations, including the National Association of Nigerian Nurses and Midwives and the Pharmaceutical Society of Nigeria, echoed these sentiments, urging the government to maintain support for healthcare initiatives.
