Yusuf explained that this recruitment was driven by the recognition of manpower deficiencies in health facilities and the imperative to enhance residents’ access to quality healthcare services.
While addressing attendees during the distribution of the appointment letters in Kano, the governor noted that the lack of medical personnel has emerged as a significant issue, especially since many doctors, nurses, and other healthcare professionals are relocating to different institutions and areas.
