AMahmuda, who stated this yesterday at a two-day SERVICOM retreat for principal SERVICOM officers of teaching hospitals, Federal Medical Centers (FMC) and other health institutions said reforming medical services is very critical to ensuring good service delivery for citizens.

He said, “I charge the participants to change to a positive attitude and have the citizens at heart because they are vital so that at the end of the day the issue of seeking medical attention outside the country will be over.”

The national coordinator, SERVICOM Office, Mrs, Nnenna Akajameli, said as SERVICOM foot soldiers, there was need for them to begin to think outside of the box, by adding value to the service delivery of processes in the various hospitals and agencies to the satisfaction of citizens and for the common good of every Nigerian.

Represented by the team lead SERVICOM in charge of the health sector, Ternenge Nyipira, Akajemili said “In today’s world, the concept of design thinking as a way of creative resolution of problems is fast gaining ground and I would therefore appeal for solution-focused thinking as we attend to issues of service failures at all service points.
