The Kano State Health Trust Fund (KHETFUND), in its continued effort to exercise one of its mandates, which is supporting health educational institutions, has provided the sum of N17,720,000 to the institution in the process of accreditation of some of its courses.
KHETFUND was established purposely to provide additional funds to the health sector to improve the quality of healthcare services in facilities and health educational institutions for the overall well-being of the people of the state.
Speaking shortly after the supervision, the Executive Secretary of the Agency, Dr Fatima Usman Zahradeen, commended the giant strides of Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf in revitalising the healthcare system of the state
Emphasising that Governor Yusuf accords topmost consideration to the sector through which enormous achievements have been recorded within the shortest period of time.
However, in an effort to ensure everything goes as planned for the successful accreditation of medical laboratory courses, National Diploma and Higher National Diploma, as well as Pharmacy courses, the Executive Secretary of the Agency, Dr. Zahradeen, led the monitoring team of the KHETFUND to supervise the utilisation of the fund they supported the school with for successful accreditation
She buttressed that it is the commitment of the people’s governor that energises them (the heads of health agencies) to become relentless and work to the best of their abilities to tip into the toes of His Excellency in actualizing the promises he made to the good people of Kano on health.
Dr Zaradeen then charged the management of the school to ensure smooth and hitch-free conduct of the accreditation exercise, a step that would pave the way for having students with the prerequisite knowledge to effectively run health facilities when employed, as aspiring by Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf and the people of the state.
She enthusiastically averred that the resources needed for the accreditation have been provided, urging them to ensure transparency and accountability in the utilisation because the duo were part of the most important guiding principles of the KHETFUND, hoping and praying that the courses would scale through by the accreditation team.
Dr Fatima revealed that accessing funds from the KHETFUND by the beneficiary health educational institutions and facilities for executing meaningful projects and programmes was not difficult, pointing out that the procedures were clearly spelt out in the beneficiary guide of the agency recently unveiled.
This was contained in a statement signed by the Information Officer, Ministry of Health, Alhaji Ibrahim Abdullahi, a copy made available on Wednesday to the press in Kano
She then lauded the Commissioner for Health, Dr Abubakar Labaran Yusuf, for his fatherly advice and moral guidance in the course of discharging their responsibilities, describing him as a man of focus, dedication, and endurance who is committed to seeing to the stabilisation and improvement of the health sector as yearning for by Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf.
Speaking while receiving the delegation, the Vice Principal of the school eulogised the KHETFUND for the kind intervention, assuring that the fund would be judiciously utilised according to the purpose it was meant for.
He stated that the Medical Lab Science Course has been accredited by the Accreditation Team from the MLS Council, which visited the school on September 15, 2023, and also concluded its arrangements for the successful conduct of accreditation of the remaining courses, including ND, HND, and Pharmacy, hoping that the exercise would succeed.
He commended Alhaji Abba Kabir Yusuf for the heartwarming touch he attached to the health sector and the people-oriented projects he has been executing across the state.
