Bauchi State Governor Bala Mohammed says he is unhappy with the poor state of the age-long Bayara Infectious Disease Centre, which he described as comatose.
The governor made the comments during an unexpected inspection visit to the Bayara healthcare facility located on the outskirts of Bauchi metropolis
Established more than sixty years ago Bayara Hospital, was once a premier centre for managing infectious diseases, such as leprosy, tuberculosis and cholera.
The hospital played a significant and historic role in epidemic control and health training in Northern Nigeria.
Decades of neglect have left it in decline, making its planned revival a major step in preserving both healthcare delivery, and heritage for Bauchi State and Northern Nigeria.
Governor Mohammed said this was why he decided on the inspection visit, to assess the facility's dilapidated state, and plan for speedy intervention
In a related development, Governor Bala Mohammed also promised to provide a specialist hospital in the state saying since the state handed over its former Specialist Hospital to the Federal Government, which is now functioning as a teaching hospital, the metropolis has been lacking a functional general hospital.
He promised that these and other facilities would be built in the not-so-distant future
He said the state government has the resources and promised delivery before 2027.
