“Hiring new hands to deploy these machines for the good of the masses completes a great effort of His Excellency to significantly turn around the fortune of this important sector in line with his campaign mantra. We are so grateful.”

The doctors, the statement stressed, “include dentists to strengthen the new dental centre, while the eight consultants include two anesthetists to man the new Intensive Care Unit even as government trains more perioperative/theatre nurses for the facility.”

Aluko also said in the statement that the process has since begun, adding however that most of the new officers and health workers would be taken from the large pool of Kwarans who had earlier applied and had been interviewed for the jobs last year.
