As part of efforts to revamp the health sector and improve healthcare delivery services especially at the primary level, the Gombe State government has recruited 440 new health workers.
The commissioner for health, Dr Habu Dahiru, disclosed this yesterday in a statement made available to journalists, explaining that the new employees would be posted to various primary healthcare facilities across the state.
“This is owing to the belief of the Inuwa-led government that primary healthcare is the bedrock of the health system and an effective and high performing primary healthcare translates to increased productivity, longevity and survival,” he said.
While congratulating the new employees, the commissioner urged them to exhibit a high sense of dedication, commitment and hard work in the discharge of their responsibilities, saying the present administration accords priority to healthcare and well-being of the citizens, hence the massive investment in the sector.
