Hon.

 The MOU is to work as Such: Consultants from the University Teaching Hospital would be posted to the Sokoto State Specialist Hospital, Murtala Muhammad Hospital and Wamako Orthopedic Hospital all in the city Centre of Sokoto , to provide training  and research on major specialties such as Medicine, Surgery, Obstetrics, Gynecology and Pediatrics.

Also, the University Teaching Hospital is expected to post resident doctors with a consultant as a supervisor to 3 or 6 General Hospitals to render clinical, training and research services in the state.

 “What we are trying to do is to bridge the gap between the Federal, State and Local Governments in terms of health care services. The partnership is first of its kind in the country and worth emulating by other governors.”  He added.

In his remarks, the Executive Governor of Sokoto State, His Excellency, Aminu Waziri Tambuwal expressed his gratitude to the Hon. Minister and entire management of the Federal Ministry of Health for accepting to work with the Sokoto State Government towards improving the healthcare of the rural communities in Sokoto State.
