The governor, who was represented by the Commissioner for Health, Muhammad Jafaru, described the facility as world class.
“This facility is indeed a world class, equipped with modern hospital beds, two incubators, birth delivery suite, medical laboratory, a new ambulance and vast accommodation for personnel.
“This will not only improve on the healthcare of people of Danko-Wasagu local government area and Zuru Emirate alone, but the entire people of Kebbi,” he said.
