The Gombe Specialist Hospital has reaffirmed its position as a world-class medical facility, emphasizing the expertise of its highly qualified team of specialists, consultants, and support staff. The hospital delivers services across Family Medicine, Cardiology, Neurology, Oncology, Gynaecology, Paediatrics, Radiology, Orthopaedics, Physiotherapy, Dentistry, and operates one of the region’s strongest Pharmaceutical Departments.
The clarification comes in response to recent derogatory remarks by public commentator Sowore, who inaccurately described the hospital staff as “native doctors.” Authorities and medical professionals insist that these claims are unfounded and misleading.
Gombe State has recorded significant progress in healthcare under Governor Muhammadu Inuwa Yahaya, CON, including:
-
Revitalization of 160 primary healthcare facilities across the state.
-
Full rehabilitation of Kumo General Hospital, now upgraded to a Federal Medical Centre, alongside modernization of Kaltungo and Bajoga General Hospitals.
-
The Gombe Specialist Hospital was the first to be upgraded with state-of-the-art facilities, setting the standard for specialist care in the region.
-
Launch of the Go-Health initiative, which has enrolled all state and local government workers and provided free healthcare to over 100,000 vulnerable persons, including IDPs and Almajirai.
-
Establishment of a new School of Nursing and Midwifery, training thousands of future health personnel.
-
Recruitment and absorption of 440 healthcare workers into the state service following the GAVI programme.
-
Creation of the Hospital Management Board and the State Medical Consumables Agency to ensure sustainability and operational efficiency.
Commenting on the issue, A. A. Kumo praised Governor Yahaya’s transformative leadership, noting that dismissing these achievements and disparaging hardworking medical practitioners is reckless and irresponsible.
The hospital’s administration reasserted its commitment to delivering high-quality healthcare services to residents of Gombe State and beyond, maintaining its position as a leading specialist healthcare provider in the North East region.
