“The health sector under this administration went through a lot of transformation as Governor Abdullahi Ganduje gave priority to the sector,” he said.
The commissioner further explained that health week would provide an opportunity for medical outreach services and other activities.
He urged residents of the state to avail themselves of the opportunity to access free healthcare services during the exercise billed to hold between September 19 and 23.
