The Federal Government has approved the upgrade of the Federal Medical Centre, Birnin Kebbi, to a Teaching Hospital, a move aimed at expanding healthcare services in Kebbi State.
The hospital’s management, led by Dr. Aliyu Hamza Balarabe, welcomed the decision and pledged full support for its success. The upgrade will allow medical students from the Federal University Birnin Kebbi to use the facility for their medical practicals and other health professional needs.
With this upgrade, the hospital’s referral level has been increased to meet the standards of a higher tertiary referral center.
Malam Abdulmuminu Bawa Yauri, the hospital’s Public Relations Officer, reiterated the hospital’s commitment to providing support and carrying out official duties diligently in its new capacity as a federal university teaching hospital.
