Presidency Commissions 100-Bed Hospital In Kaduna

The Presidency has commissioned a 100-bed Renewed Hope Specialist Hospital in Dumbin Rauga, Dutsen Abba Ward of Zaria, Kaduna State, in a move aimed at strengthening healthcare delivery and improving access to quality medical services.

The project, executed by the Office of the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Sustainable Development Goals (OSSAP-SDGs), is part of ongoing efforts by the federal government to improve national health outcomes and advance the attainment of Sustainable Development Goal 3 on good health and wellbeing.

Speaking during the commissioning, the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Sustainable Development Goals, Princess Adejoke Orelope-Adefulire, described the facility as a strategic intervention designed to bridge critical healthcare gaps, especially for vulnerable communities.

According to a statement issued by her Special Assistant on Media, Publicity and Strategic Communications, Desmond Utomwen, Orelope-Adefulire said the intervention was beyond infrastructure, stressing that it was focused on improving health outcomes across communities.

“Healthcare is not a luxury; it is a necessity. Every mother deserves a safe delivery. Every child deserves a healthy start to life. No matter how far-flung our communities may be, access to quality healthcare must not be distant from them,” she said.

She explained that the hospital is equipped with modern medical infrastructure, including fully functional operating theatres, recovery rooms, private and general wards, delivery sets, consultation rooms, a laboratory, and advanced diagnostic equipment.

“The hospital is fitted with state-of-the-art equipment. These include, among others, operating theatres, recovery rooms, private and general wards, a scanning room, consultation rooms, and a laboratory. Others include an ultrasound machine, a vacuum extractor delivery set, and an emergency cart with full complements,” the statement quoted her as saying.
