The Yobe State Government has disclosed that it’s ongoing reforms in the health sector under the administration of Governor Mai Mala Buni have significantly expanded access to quality and affordable healthcare.

The state maintained that this was achieved through the state’s health insurance programme, upgraded health facilities and sustained investments in medical infrastructure and personnel.

The Acting Secretary to the State Government, Dr Mohammed Goje, disclosed this during an exclusive interview with Arewa PUNCH.

Goje spoke while highlighting the administration’s achievements in the health sector, describing healthcare as one of the government’s major priorities since assuming office in 2019.

According to him, the administration recognised that improving healthcare delivery required more than constructing hospitals, stressing that access, affordability and the availability of qualified personnel were equally important in achieving better health outcomes.
