Governor Dikko Umaru Radda on Wednesday laid the foundation stone for the construction of a world class Dialysis Centre at the General Amadi Rimi Orthopedic Hospital in Batagarawa area of the State capital.

This is part of the activities scheduled to commemorate his 100 days in office as Katsina State Governor, said Ibrahim Kaula Mohammed, the spokesperson of Malam Dikko Radda.

The Commissioner of Health, Dr. Bishir Gambo Saulawa, explained the nature of the project to newsmen at a briefing on Wednesday.

He said that the Dialysis Centre, when completed, will be one of the best in Northern Nigeria.

According to Saulawa, a similar health facility would also be established in Funtua to carter for patients who need dialysis services.

“For a long time, and before now, our dear State had only four dialysis machines at the Katsina General Hospital.

“By the time the two new Dialysis Centres are completed, we would be having 16 dialysis machines,” he said.
