As part of efforts to improve health care services in the Federal Capital Territory,
the Head of Nurses, Kuje General Hospital, Mrs Bunmi Fesobi, has called on the Federal Capital Territory Administration to fast track moves to employ more Nurses to enhance health Care Service delivery in the Territory.
Mrs Fesobi made the appeal at a reception programme organized for the retirement of three Nurses in the Hospital after 35years in active service with FCT Hospital Management Board, Abuja.
She said employing more Medical practitioners would help in the ongoing fight against Covid-19 pandemic and other related illnesses affecting the residents and people of FCT.
Mrs Bunmi Fesobi advised the Nurses and resident Doctors to work in harmony so as to achieve a common goal in the Hospitals.
Head of Nurses, Kuje General Hospital, thanked the retirees, wishing them well in their future endeavour and prayed for God guidance and sound health as they pool out of service for the younger Nurses to tap from their worth of experience.
Responding, one of the retirees, Mrs Helen Gabriel, gave thanks to God for the opportunity given to her to serve the government for 35years as a Nursing professional.
Mrs Gabriel advised younger Nurses to put their trust in God and take the Nursing profession as a ministry to help the sick, as they take their work diligently with the fear of God.
Another retiree, Hajia Bukar, said that she is happy and thanking God to be among the retirees after 35years of active service in the Nursing profession, noting that she had a good working relationship with Doctors in saving lives in the Hospitals where she had worked.
She further advised the Nurses to love their Nursing profession and patients, urging them to take their work serious, doing their job with clean mind not to cheat anyone during and after their duties.
The highlight of the programme was the presentation of gifts and awards to the retirees for their commitment to duties during their years of service.
