The Association of Resident Doctors, General Hospital, Ilorin, (ARD-GHI), have appealed to Governor Abdulrahman AbdulRazaq of Kwara State, to employ more medical staffers for the facility. The association made the call yesterday in Ilorin in their Sallah goodwill message to the governor, which was jointly signed by Dr Usman Abubakar, the President and Dr Audu Charles, the Secretary, ARDGH Ilorin.

The association stated that there was shortage of medical staffers at the hospital, which had hindered services rendered in some departments of the hospital. According to the doctors, since the General Hospital, Ilorin is now a Teaching Hospital, it has become important to address issues that will help the smooth take-off of the Teaching Hospital.

The doctors, however, congratulated AbdulRazaq on the milestone achievements of his administration, especially in the health sector, like malaria control and the passage of Kwara State Teaching Hospital Bill among other achievements. “While congratulating you on these achievements, we do not want you to relent on your efforts to make Kwara a shining star among other states in the country,” the message said.
