00:00:33of
00:00:42of cardinal state government believes
00:00:46health care is central to human capital development,
00:00:49in that of is why governor Ubasani has placed it at
00:00:52of the heart of Kaduna State's development agenda. For the Ubasani
00:00:56administration, strengthening health care delivery is more than a policy.
00:01:00choice,
00:01:01it is moral responsibility to the people of Caudinal state. We cannot turn
00:01:04around the economy of our state without enhancing the health
00:01:08of our people. Our vision is to build
00:01:12healthy communities where the poor and the
00:01:17of
00:01:17of vulnerable have access to quality healthcare. To achieve
00:01:20this, the government adopted a comprehensive health sector reform
00:01:24agenda. This focuses on strengthening primary health
00:01:28of care, expanding specialists and emergency services, supporting health
00:01:32workers, improving affordability and access and
00:01:36ensuring the availability of quality medicines. In
00:01:392025, the government
00:01:41of upgraded 255 primary health care centers
00:01:45across the 23 local government
00:01:48of areas to level two status
00:01:49in and equipments were distributing
00:01:52to to our
00:01:53of primary healthcare centers and
00:01:55of state will be given to children from first
00:01:59year to. up to six years free of charge, nobody
00:02:02will ask them for anything, all our pregnant women will
00:02:06get these
00:02:08of medicines free in our primary healthcare centers. our
00:02:12vulnerable, vulnerable population, those
00:02:15that are vulnerable, we also be given these medicines and services
00:02:19at the primary care centers free. beyond primary
00:02:23care, the state is also investing in advanced medical
00:02:26services,
00:02:28of the 300 bed specialist. hospital in cardinas millennium
00:02:31of city was developed to reduce outbound medical
00:02:34referrals, provide specialist services within the state and
00:02:38strengthen health care
00:02:39of capacity of across Northern
00:02:40Nigeria.
00:02:45On this investigative visit to the state, I stopped at
00:02:49General Hospital Sabo. This is one
00:02:52of the 13 secondary head care facilities reconstructed
00:02:56a by the state government. My objective is to access the level of
00:03:02me
00:03:14Joseph, the medical director
00:03:15of the hospital. He explains that the hospital has undergone a
00:03:18major transformation with complete reconstruction of
00:03:22key units. This includes the administrative block, the out
00:03:26patient department, pharmacy, theaters,
00:03:30laboratories and wards. The state government has also addressed basic
00:03:33infrastructure needs by installing solar power to
00:03:37guarantee uninterrupted electricity. Others are a perimeter
00:03:41fence and three bar holes to ensure steady supply of portable water.
00:03:45August last
00:03:46in year in the renovation started and this was the place they
00:03:50started. This is the general out patient department, even though it
00:03:54has some other clinics attached to it. The roof was
00:03:57removed and extended. the offices we are
00:04:01renovated, new acs we are put and
00:04:04furnitures, that is what consigns this
00:04:07of part, this place
00:04:09of covers the general outpatient department, the HIV
00:04:12unit, the pharmacy, the records
00:04:15of department, and then the accident and
00:04:19emergency,
00:04:21of okay, this corridor leads

00:04:51yes, okay,
00:04:52yes, this is
00:04:55another corridor that leaves towards the theater,
00:04:59the the... is big, we have twin theater, okay, where
00:05:03we can do two surgeries at the same
00:05:05time,
00:05:10of of this passage leads to, yes, this passage
00:05:14leads to the opd where we just left now, I'm taking into the
00:05:18twin theaters where renovation work is nearly
00:05:21completion, hospital officials say equipment will be installed
00:05:25once the ongoing works are concluded, solar system
00:05:28covers the theater alone, we don't share
00:05:31it with any other
00:05:32place, so
00:05:36any time you are guaranteed electricity,
00:05:39247, when was this? they
00:05:43delivered sometimes last year sir within the period the
00:05:46renovation that's very good
00:05:49but we all came back around january this
00:05:52year okay so
00:05:55electricity problem you don't have we don't have problem we
00:05:59also have phc here so from time
00:06:02yes from time to time in sure most the time like in the
00:06:06theater now we don't really depend on never because of
00:06:09interruption you can be doing the surgery and then nep to take l
00:06:13so we prefer using the
00:06:14solar, let's go this
00:06:17way,
00:06:22i want us to briefly enter here so that you see our make shit
00:06:26accident and emergency, yes even though we are planning for
00:06:29expansion, okay so this is our meet shift
00:06:33accident and emergency for now,
00:06:36okay?

00:06:46renovated
00:06:50with this place
00:06:51okay, the hospital as
00:06:55big as this like
00:06:57this, located

00:08:05samples, this is uh about
00:08:09safety cabinets to avoid spreading in.
00:08:13to me that is doing
00:08:14the work and to the people around
00:08:18yeah temporarily
00:08:21we we kept our blood here

00:08:33problem the nevata had
00:08:36issue so we have to bring this one temporarily to this place
00:08:40spending the time the issue resolved.
00:09:19all these samples now are for HIV patient so we will
00:09:23package it like this they will come and carry it and take it to molecular
00:09:27lapinzaria for analysis and this
00:09:30is unit
00:09:32for for
00:09:36children that i exposed this
00:09:39is this particular machine
00:09:40we having issue with it because it doesn't work when it's heat and we can
00:09:44see we don't have ac so in the
00:09:47afternoon so you need to put an ac here
00:09:50you suppose in all the cmd need to put an ac

00:10:06this is the conference area where we do our training every
00:10:09week okay yes this is the in fact
00:10:13right now, i think this one is not working, even today
00:10:17this one was packing, we have to quickly change
00:10:20this,
00:10:24so
00:10:26Yes, they can, in fact, I went to look for
00:10:30MD, he was busy with patient, I wanted to tell
00:10:33you that this thing was sping today, we have to change this thing,
00:10:37okay, today, yes, sir, this one is not working, it's not
00:10:40connected, no problem, so
00:10:44so those are issues that will be addressed before I return to this
00:10:48place, okay, and nobody will know when I'll come back,
00:10:51okay, so there need to be result quickly.
00:11:27so how do you find your work here? fine sir, you
00:11:31enjoying it? yes
00:11:32sir,
00:11:37then this is our chemical pathology session, this is where all the
00:11:41chemical constituent the body are analyed.
00:11:43okay,
00:11:48this is scientis,
00:11:51ez this is scientis blessing.
00:11:55Okay, so what does, what dos es do, what do
00:11:59you do a given day, how is, what are you
00:12:03analyzing now, presently I'm doing uric
00:12:06acid, okay, and
00:12:08calcium, can you explain more
00:12:12for the layen, okay, uric acid is
00:12:15to one the
00:12:19chemical constraint the body, which
00:12:23are deposits. you can also call it radic
00:12:26acid acid radicals okay so most especially on people that
00:12:30are each we get it so they accumulation these acid
00:12:34radicals on the joint you get it yes
00:12:37leads to pains so we like
00:12:41arthritis yes like arthritis we can also cause call
00:12:45it gout get it so that's the
00:12:48implication of running this test so you know the level of
00:12:52those acid radicals and and then
00:12:55calcium is one the
00:12:59chemical constituent the bone, look
00:13:02at it, it helps in building the bones, so
00:13:06deficiency of this calcium also can lead to
00:13:09pains, you getting an inability to have
00:13:13very good posture even work, yeah, so that's
00:13:17implications, thank you, matana care is
00:13:21critical area of focus in every health care facility, As I
00:13:25move into the maternity unit, the infrastructure upgrade is
00:13:28apparent. Oh structures have given way to modern cleaner
00:13:32and more functional spaces, reflecting the administration's
00:13:36commitment to improving maternal
00:13:38care.
00:13:42My concern is whether these improvements translate into better
00:13:46outcomes for women and children. Esta peter chief
00:13:50nursing officer explains how the
00:13:52units. doing here, yes
00:13:56okay, how are we doing? we're doing fine,
00:13:59good to here, the patient are getting better, stop have been
00:14:03discharged, okay, yes,
00:14:07now on the average, how many deliveries do you get a month, a
00:14:11month, yes it depends, sometimes the average,
00:14:15can you put average maybe up to 70 to
00:14:19100, even more than 100 sometimes, wow,
00:14:23yes, more than... sometimes for 100 yes i ask this
00:14:27question because um there is this problem of
00:14:31women preferring to deliver outside the hospitals
00:14:35well we have been getting them here we have been getting them here maybe they prepar
00:14:39to because maybe the economic the country i don't know somebody they come without
00:14:42even delivery ice creams but we help them yes
00:14:46some them they mentality or whatever i don't know they will just leave at
00:14:50home and then when they deliver they will just come to the hospital again for
00:14:53review the still come back to us, you are
00:14:57still very confident in uh this traditional bch
00:15:00attendance, so yes, some them they prefer,
00:15:04like the way we do this level care guides in
00:15:07magadushi hotel, they tell us respect to matanal
00:15:11care, when the patient come to the
00:15:14hospital, they are already used to their own
00:15:18culture, and they used to their traditional
00:15:22religious, you follow the patient.
00:15:25the way patient wants to deliver the position she want you
00:15:29follow her
00:15:29and when
00:15:30she comes
00:15:31she don't have a companion some will just come without a companion we offer
00:15:35her a companion to our student.
00:15:45they should just she will just bend down like

00:15:52respected due to religion due to belief due

00:16:15she's pushing, you help her, because she's infense, we don't want
00:16:19to make her to be angry, that's what they teach us,
00:16:22respecting, you are just to their own
00:16:25religion, you come closer to them, so they

00:20:10As part the hospital upgrade a new mertuary has
00:20:13also been constructed. Timely emergency
00:20:17response can make the difference between life and death. To
00:20:21address this, Cardina State launched a coordinated emergency
00:20:25medical services and ambulance system, designed to deliver
00:20:28rapid response across all local government areas. The system
00:20:32is stuffed with trained emergency medical technicians, equipped
00:20:36with modern ambulance. and supported by a centralized dispatch
00:20:40system. this initiative has strengthen trauma care, improved
00:20:44martherna emergency response and enhanced accident management
00:20:48across the state. we are closing. the access gap,
00:20:51reducing avoidable deaths and straightening public
00:20:55trust in our health system. this
00:20:59initiative support the goals the basic healthcare provision
00:21:02form, particularly maternal and new
00:21:06natal emergencies in unders areas.
00:21:10healthcare workers remain the backbone the health system,
00:21:13recognizing this, the administration prioritized staff
00:21:17welfare and capacity building outstand allowances over
00:21:21to medical personnel were cleared while recruitment and training
00:21:25programs were expanded to address manpower gapston in
00:21:28administration has been the approval and implementation
