“Healthcare is very critical, and we must do everything to ensure it is available at the best level for everyone.
“I also made an unscheduled visit to the General Hospital, Odan to do on-the-spot assessment of the level of facilities at the hospital and the medical quarters, with a view to determining the level of intervention needed.
