Borno State Governor, Babagana Umara Zulum, has directed the Ministry of Health to investigate and fish out medical staff on duty who allegedly rejected
Zulum gave the directive yesterday at the Accident and Emergency Unit of the hospital.
The governor’s visit to Umaru Shehu Hospital was in response to a viral video which showed some medical officers rejecting accident victims brought to the hospital on a date and time that that will be determined by investigators. He gave 24 hours for a probe team to identify the medical workers involved and to recommend appropriate sanctions.
What happened is “inhuman and unacceptable” Zulum said as he addressed health workers at the hospital. “A situation where patients are left crying for help, yet a hospital rejects them? We will not allow such a situation to repeat itself. I see no reason why disciplinary action will not be taken against the erring staff in this hospital”, the governor declared.
