The hospital’s Medical Director, Prof. Shehu Sale, stated this in an interview with newsmen, Monday in Sokoto.

Sale, a Consultant Psychiatrist, promised to remain steadfast in determination to always provide affordable and excellent services to patients.

He commended President Muhammadu Buhari and ministers of health, for their support and encouragement to the hospital management that ensured its facelift as well as all-round upgrades in the facility.

The medical director said the hospital currently hosts a total of 17 visiting consultants, who are specialists in different medical fields.

He noted that there are also resident doctors and other health professionals such as pharmacists, nurses, clinical psychologists, occupational therapists, and laboratory scientists that are working together as a team to provide efficient services.

“The hospital has world-class equipment such as mobile digital x-ray machine, mobile ultrasound machine, ultrasonography machine, digitalised medical and diagnostic records system, occupational therapy equipment and modern laboratory tools,” Prof. Sale disclosed.

He added that the federal government had also funded new major projects in its COVID-19 interventions at the hospital.

These, he said, included construction and equipping of intensive care unit, construction and equipping of molecular laboratory, construction and equipping of isolation centre and procurement of Personal Protective Equipment.

He said the completed projects were already impacting positively on service delivery and protection of both staff and patients of the hospital.
