According to a statement issued on Friday by the Board’s Press Secretary, Adamu Sabi, the inspection focused on service delivery, staff performance, patient care, facilities and the general condition of the hospital.
The statement said the areas inspected included ventilation at the Emergency Paediatric Unit, power supply, water reticulation, availability of drugs and consumables, as well as general space management within the facility.
