The Kano State Hospitals Management Board has removed the Chief Medical Officers of three healthcare facilities in the state where health workers shunned night duty on 30th July.

The affected hospitals are Imam Wali General Hospital; Abubakar Imam Urology Centre; and Nuhu Bamalli Maternity Hospital.

In a statement on Tuesday, the Public Relations Officer of the hospital’s management board, Samira Sulaiman said that the removal of the officers and the suspension of the health workers were approved by the Executive Secretary, Dr.  Mansur Nagoda.

According to the statement, the health workers neglected their duties by absenting themselves from night duty, leaving patients in the hands of students.

Nagoda warned that the board would not condone negligence, lateness, or absenteeism from duty by any medical personnel, adding that anyone found wanting would face sanctions by the civil service rules and regulations.

Nagoda called on other hospitals to buckle down, as all facilities would be monitored closely to revive the health sector of the state to a standard level.
