“Worried by the challenges faced by patients in making payment in the hospital to receive medical attention, the secretary has mandated all the medical directors to engage the service of Multiple Point of Sale operators in their various facilities as an alternative to pay the medical bills,” he said.
Tafida warned that the FCT administration would not hesitate to sanction any medical official that refused to attend to patients because of the CBN cashless policy.
