Bauchi State Government has recruited 850 skilled and unskilled personnel to strengthen the state’s healthcare system, particularly the primary healthcare subsector.
The Executive Chairman of the Bauchi State Primary Healthcare Development Board, Dr Rilwanu Mohammed, disclosed this on Friday during a one-day orientation and documentation exercise for the newly recruited personnel at the board’s headquarters.
Mohammed said the recruitment was aimed at addressing manpower shortages in the primary healthcare system caused by retirements, deaths and voluntary exits from the service.
