He said: At the inception of our administration in May 2023, we pledged to restore dignity to our public health institutions and ensure no citizen is left behind in our development journey.

“11 others which are spread across the three senatorial zones are nearing completion.

“We are strengthening our primary healthcare system, enhancing referral centers, and improving the welfare and training of our health professionals.”
