The Zamfara State Government has cautioned health personnel against absenteeism and negligence to ensure effective service delivery.
Dr Nafisa Maradun, Commissioner for Health, made the remarks on Friday in Dansadau while leading officials of the ministry on an Integrated Supportive Supervision (ISS) exercise to general hospitals across all 14 local government areas of the state.
The exercise, led by the Commissioner and supported by directors and heads of parastatals under the ministry, began with visits to Dansadau and Magami General Hospitals in Maru and Gusau LGAs, respectively.
Maradun stressed that the state government would not tolerate absenteeism or dereliction of duty by health workers, emphasizing that accountability and dedication are critical to strengthening Zamfara’s healthcare system.
She explained that the exercise aims to monitor and evaluate the condition of health facilities, assess service delivery, staff performance, and the overall functionality of secondary health facilities.
“The exercise will cover all general hospitals and health facilities in the 14 LGAs to ensure quality healthcare delivery for citizens. We are supervising all health facilities to monitor and evaluate their conditions and ensure that services are delivered effectively,” Maradun said.
She commended medical directors, nurses, and other health personnel for their commitment and presence at their duty posts.
Maradun assured that the supervision would improve standards, promote efficiency, and enhance service delivery across public health facilities in the state.
