“There are not enough doctors in the public health system in Kaduna State.
“Therefore, it is not prudent to assign doctors, nurses, and other medical staff to serve Government House alone.”
“It is better that everyone working in the Government House uses the same health facilities as the general public
The statement, therefore, directed Government House members of staff to henceforth use the Yusuf Danstoho Hospital for their medical needs.

“From now on, all Government House staff requiring medical services will proceed to the nearest public hospital to the Government House like other citizens of the State.
“It is expected that the management of the public hospitals will make good use of the medical personnel, drugs and equipments donated to them,” the statement added.
