Governor Dauda Lawal’s Healthcare Revolution in Zamfara

Faced with an unprecedented and embarrassing decay in the health sector in Zamfara State, Governor Dauda Lawal declared a state of
emergency on the sector immediately after he took over as the state chief executive.

To change the ugly scenario, Governor Lawal quickly started renovating,
modernising, upgrading, equipping, and building new general hospitals across the state.

One year on, these hitherto decrepit, understaffed and life-threatening general hospitals now wear a new look, with state-of-the-art facilities, trained and well-remunerated physicians and health workers for effective, safe, people-centred, timely, equitable, and integrated service delivery to the people.
