[00:00:49] in that of is why governor Ubasani has placed it at

[00:01:00] choice,
[00:01:01] it is moral responsibility to the people of Caudinal state. We cannot turn
[00:01:04] around the economy of our state without enhancing the health

[00:01:12] healthy communities where the poor and the
[00:01:17] of
[00:01:17] of vulnerable have access to quality healthcare. To achieve
[00:01:20] this, the government adopted a comprehensive health sector reform

[00:02:23] care, the state is also investing in advanced medical
[00:02:26] services,
[00:02:28] of the 300 bed specialist. hospital in cardinas millennium
[00:02:31] of city was developed to reduce outbound medical
[00:02:34] referrals, provide specialist services within the state and
[00:02:38] strengthen health care
[00:02:39] of capacity of across Northern
[00:02:40] Nigeria.
[00:02:45] On this investigative visit to the state, I stopped at
[00:02:49] General Hospital Sabo. This is one
[00:02:52] of the 13 secondary head care facilities reconstructed
[00:02:56] a by the state government. My objective is to access the level of
[00:03:02] me
[00:03:14] Joseph, the medical director
[00:03:15] of the hospital. He explains that the hospital has undergone a
[00:03:18] major transformation with complete reconstruction of
[00:03:22] key units. This includes the administrative block, the out
[00:03:26] patient department, pharmacy, theaters,
[00:03:30] laboratories and wards. The state government has also addressed basic
[00:03:33] infrastructure needs by installing solar power to
[00:03:37] guarantee uninterrupted electricity. Others are a perimeter
[00:03:41] fence and three bar holes to ensure steady supply of portable water.
[00:03:45] August last
[00:03:46] in year in the renovation started and this was the place they
[00:03:50] started. This is the general out patient department, even though it
[00:03:54] has some other clinics attached to it. The roof was
[00:03:57] removed and extended. the offices we are
[00:04:01] renovated, new acs we are put and
[00:04:04] furnitures, that is what consigns this
[00:04:07] of part, this place
[00:04:09] of covers the general outpatient department, the HIV
[00:04:12] unit, the pharmacy, the records
[00:04:15] of department, and then the accident and
[00:04:19] emergency,
[00:04:21] of okay, this corridor leads
[00:04:24] to the
[00:04:28] walks, this is our maintenance section,
[00:04:31] maintenance,
[00:04:33] of maintenance, and this is
[00:04:37] the eye
[00:04:38] of clinic, that
[00:04:39] is eye the
[00:04:40] clinic, eye clinic, this is the eye
[00:04:40] clinic,
[00:04:47] this is the tv unit, tv, tuberculosis, tuberculosis,
[00:04:51] yes, okay,
[00:04:52] yes, this is
[00:04:55] another corridor that leaves towards the theater,
[00:04:59] the the... is big, we have twin theater, okay, where
[00:05:03] we can do two surgeries at the same
[00:05:05] time,
[00:05:10] of of this passage leads to, yes, this passage
[00:05:14] leads to the opd where we just left now, I'm taking into the
[00:05:18] twin theaters where renovation work is nearly
[00:05:21] completion, hospital officials say equipment will be installed
[00:05:25] once the ongoing works are concluded, solar system
[00:05:28] covers the theater alone, we don't share
[00:05:31] it with any other
[00:05:32] place, so
[00:05:36] any time you are guaranteed electricity,
[00:05:39] 247, when was this? they
[00:05:43] delivered sometimes last year sir within the period the
[00:05:46] renovation that's very good
[00:05:49] but we all came back around january this
[00:05:52] year okay so
[00:05:55] electricity problem you don't have we don't have problem we
[00:05:59] also have phc here so from time
[00:06:02] yes from time to time in sure most the time like in the
[00:06:06] theater now we don't really depend on never because of
[00:06:09] interruption you can be doing the surgery and then nep to take l
[00:06:13] so we prefer using the
[00:06:14] solar, let's go this
[00:06:17] way,
[00:06:22] i want us to briefly enter here so that you see our make shit
[00:06:26] accident and emergency, yes even though we are planning for
[00:06:29] expansion, okay so this is our meet shift
[00:06:33] accident and emergency for now,
[00:06:36] okay?
[00:06:43] because the main word is being
[00:06:46] renovated
[00:06:50] with this place

[00:08:29] not connected to the to nep light yet so when there was
[00:08:33] problem the nevata had
[00:08:36] issue so we have to bring this one temporarily to this place
[00:08:40] spending the time the issue resolved.

[00:09:23] package it like this they will come and carry it and take it to molecular
[00:09:27] lapinzaria for analysis and this
[00:09:30] is unit
[00:09:32] for for
[00:09:36] children that i exposed this
[00:09:39] is this particular machine
[00:09:40] we having issue with it because it doesn't work when it's heat and we can
[00:09:44] see we don't have ac so in the
[00:09:47] afternoon so you need to put an ac here

[00:10:20] this,
[00:10:24] so
[00:10:26] Yes, they can, in fact, I went to look for
[00:10:30] MD, he was busy with patient, I wanted to tell
[00:10:33] you that this thing was sping today, we have to change this thing,
[00:10:37] okay, today, yes, sir, this one is not working, it's not
[00:10:40] connected, no problem, so
[00:10:44] so those are issues that will be addressed before I return to this
[00:10:48] place, okay, and nobody will know when I'll come back,
[00:10:51] okay, so there need to be result quickly.
[00:11:27] so how do you find your work here? fine sir, you
[00:11:31] enjoying it? yes
[00:11:32] sir,
[00:11:37] then this is our chemical pathology session, this is where all the
[00:11:41] chemical constituent the body are analyed.
[00:11:43] okay,
[00:11:48] this is scientis,
[00:11:51] ez this is scientis blessing.
[00:11:55] Okay, so what does, what dos es do, what do
[00:11:59] you do a given day, how is, what are you
[00:12:03] analyzing now, presently I'm doing uric
[00:12:06] acid, okay, and
[00:12:08] calcium, can you explain more
[00:12:12] for the layen, okay, uric acid is
[00:12:15] to one the
[00:12:19] chemical constraint the body, which
[00:12:23] are deposits. you can also call it radic
[00:12:26] acid acid radicals okay so most especially on people that
[00:12:30] are each we get it so they accumulation these acid
[00:12:34] radicals on the joint you get it yes
[00:12:37] leads to pains so we like
[00:12:41] arthritis yes like arthritis we can also cause call
[00:12:45] it gout get it so that's the
[00:12:48] implication of running this test so you know the level of
[00:12:52] those acid radicals and and then
[00:12:55] calcium is one the
[00:12:59] chemical constituent the bone, look
[00:13:02] at it, it helps in building the bones, so
[00:13:06] deficiency of this calcium also can lead to
[00:13:09] pains, you getting an inability to have
[00:13:13] very good posture even work, yeah, so that's
[00:13:17] implications, thank you, matana care is
[00:13:21] critical area of focus in every health care facility, As I
[00:13:25] move into the maternity unit, the infrastructure upgrade is
[00:13:28] apparent. Oh structures have given way to modern cleaner
[00:13:32] and more functional spaces, reflecting the administration's
[00:13:36] commitment to improving maternal
[00:13:38] care.
[00:13:42] My concern is whether these improvements translate into better
[00:13:46] outcomes for women and children. Esta peter chief
[00:13:50] nursing officer explains how the
[00:13:52] units. doing here, yes
[00:13:56] okay, how are we doing? we're doing fine,
[00:13:59] good to here, the patient are getting better, stop have been
[00:14:03] discharged, okay, yes,
[00:14:07] now on the average, how many deliveries do you get a month, a
[00:14:11] month, yes it depends, sometimes the average,
[00:14:15] can you put average maybe up to 70 to
[00:14:19] 100, even more than 100 sometimes, wow,
[00:14:23] yes, more than... sometimes for 100 yes i ask this
[00:14:27] question because um there is this problem of
[00:14:31] women preferring to deliver outside the hospitals
[00:14:35] well we have been getting them here we have been getting them here maybe they prepar
[00:14:39] to because maybe the economic the country i don't know somebody they come without
[00:14:42] even delivery ice creams but we help them yes
[00:14:46] some them they mentality or whatever i don't know they will just leave at
[00:14:50] home and then when they deliver they will just come to the hospital again for
[00:14:53] review the still come back to us, you are
[00:14:57] still very confident in uh this traditional bch
[00:15:00] attendance, so yes, some them they prefer,
[00:15:04] like the way we do this level care guides in
[00:15:07] magadushi hotel, they tell us respect to matanal
[00:15:11] care, when the patient come to the
[00:15:14] hospital, they are already used to their own
[00:15:18] culture, and they used to their traditional
[00:15:22] religious, you follow the patient.
[00:15:25] the way patient wants to deliver the position she want you
[00:15:29] follow her
[00:15:29] and when
[00:15:30] she comes
[00:15:31] she don't have a companion some will just come without a companion we offer
[00:15:35] her a companion to our student.
[00:15:45] they should just she will just bend down like
[00:15:48] to put the baby but you the midwife you have to follow her to give her her
[00:15:52] respected due to religion due to belief due
[00:15:56] to also tradition tradition yes some people they will
[00:16:00] not like to lie down on their back yes but some people they want to deliver
[00:16:04] the but you the mid wife you make sure you have all whatever you have.
[00:16:08] which is the best, which which is the best posture? yes, the best
[00:16:11] posture on the back, but when
[00:16:15] she's pushing, you help her, because she's infense, we don't want
[00:16:19] to make her to be angry, that's what they teach us,
[00:16:22] respecting, you are just to their own
[00:16:25] religion, you come closer to them, so they
[00:16:28] deliver, thank you, yes,
[00:16:32] okay, so madam, what are the things that you need here so
[00:16:36] that we can get message? across to the governor, yes, we

[00:19:49] it
[00:19:54] any message we appreciate appreciate the governor
[00:19:58] for increments yes
[00:20:02] because that we needed more man power
[00:20:05] okay yes thank you
[00:20:10] As part the hospital upgrade a new mertuary has
[00:20:13] also been constructed. Timely emergency
[00:20:17] response can make the difference between life and death. To
[00:20:21] address this, Cardina State launched a coordinated emergency
[00:20:25] medical services and ambulance system, designed to deliver
[00:20:28] rapid response across all local government areas. The system
[00:20:32] is stuffed with trained emergency medical technicians, equipped
[00:20:36] with modern ambulance. and supported by a centralized dispatch
[00:20:40] system. this initiative has strengthen trauma care, improved
[00:20:44] martherna emergency response and enhanced accident management
[00:20:48] across the state. we are closing. the access gap,
[00:20:51] reducing avoidable deaths and straightening public
[00:20:55] trust in our health system. this
[00:20:59] initiative support the goals the basic healthcare provision
[00:21:02] form, particularly maternal and new
[00:21:06] natal emergencies in unders areas.
[00:21:10] healthcare workers remain the backbone the health system,
[00:21:13] recognizing this, the administration prioritized staff
[00:21:17] welfare and capacity building outstand allowances over
[00:21:21] to medical personnel were cleared while recruitment and training
[00:21:25] programs were expanded to address manpower gapston in
[00:21:28] administration has been the approval and implementation
[00:21:32] the 2024 conmes and conheas
[00:21:36] salary
[00:21:37] structure.
[00:21:42] this historic move underscores our appreciation for our health workers
[00:21:45] and our result to keep them motivated fairly.
[00:21:50] compensated and
[00:21:51] valued and I'm happy that
[00:21:55] all of

[00:21:59] I have done this program last month you will have been looking different, today
[00:22:03] I'm happy that you're all smiling, so that is the show of
[00:22:07] appreciation and I'm happy that uh you are also going to double on my

[00:22:14] best, this decisive move ends
[00:22:18] over decade of stagnation in medical workers
[00:22:22] remuneration. These measures have improved staff motivation,
[00:22:25] retention and service delivery across public health
[00:22:28] facilities. Health care reforms have end cardinal
[00:22:32] state national and international recognition. This
[00:22:36] is validating the effectiveness the government strategic investments and
[00:22:40] policy direction. The authorities say these strides reaffirm the
[00:22:44] administration's commitment safegarding lives,
