Public hospitals get 50% electricity subsidy
Nigeria’s Minister of State for Health and Social Welfare, Dr. Tunji Alausa, announced that the Federal Government has approved a 50% electricity subsidy for public hospitals across the country.
According to him, this gesture aims to reduce the running costs for public hospitals and alleviate the impact on patients.
The Minister, speaking at the National Neo-Psychiatric Hospital in Barnawa, Kaduna, also commissioned the Electronic Health Records and Alternative Power Supply at the Lawal Jafaru Isah Emergency Complex and the solarization project at the dialysis unit, which includes a solar-powered borehole and a 10.2 KVA inverter with a lithium battery at the Abdulkareem Jika Yusuf COVID-19 Intervention Centre.
Dr. Alausa expressed confidence in Dr. Aishatu Yusha’u Armiyau, the Hospital Chief Medical Director, stating that the hospital’s success reflects the promises made by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu during his campaign.
Earlier, Dr. Aminatu Abdulrahman, Acting Chief Medical Director of the National Eye Centre, mentioned that the centre, established in 1979, provides specialist eye care services, training, and research for Nigeria.
