Governor Dikko Radda who paid an unscheduled visit to the Amadi Rimi General Hospital (Popularly known as Orthopaedic Hospital Batagarawa) in Batagarawa Local Government Area was at the hospital to inspect the ongoing construction of a 16-bed Dialysis Centre, which will be the first of its kind in the entire Northern part of the country.
At the hospital, according to a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Mohammed Kaula, the Governor settled the medical bills of patients on admission at the Accident and Emergency Section of the hospital and wished them speedy recovery.
