At General Hospital Katsina which is the leading
healthcare service provider in the state, the governor appointed Dr. Mohammad
Umar as Medical Director to oversee the transformation of the hospital for
improved healthcare service delivery to its clients from all parts of the
state.
Dr Umar is a Consultant Gynecologist with decades of
experience in this very important field. Within just three months, Dr. Umar was
able to introduce groundbreaking policies, programs, and projects that have now
enhanced healthcare service delivery at General Hospital, Katsina.
These include the establishment of a new ICT Center which
has gone along way in automating the hospital’s operations, considering the key
role played by technology in entrenching patient-centered healthcare delivery
systems globally.
Now, ICT has revolutionized data capturing, processing, and storing of records at the various departments and units of the hospital, as most other operations, from clinical to medical to administrative have also transitioned to ICT-based.
