He also approved the suspension of all doctors and nurses that were on duty for the evening and night shifts on Sunday 30th July 2023.
This was contained in a press release issued from the Board’s Public Relations Officer, Samira Sulaiman, and made available to media organisations.
According to the Executive Secretary, the decision was taken as a matter of urgency due to the negligence of both hospitals in carrying out their duties, absconding from their duty posts, leaving patients in the hands of students.
