The Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria (MDCN) has approved Kubwa General Hospital in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) to conduct medical internship trainings.
The Registrar of MDCN, Dr. Abdulmumini Ibrahim, disclosed this when officials of the Council visited the Secretary, FCT Health and Human Services Secretariat, Dr. Demola Onakomaiya, in his office in Abuja recently. He said the accreditation was based on a report by an eight-member visitation team to the hospital on April 9 to assess its staff and facilities.
The Registrar added that the hospital has been granted a training quota of 24 house officers and assured the hospital’s management of the council’s continuous support.
In his response, Dr. Onakomaiya, said the approval will improve qualitative healthcare delivery and also improve capacity building for health staff.
He further stated that plans have been concluded to commission a multi-drug resistance laboratory, a standalone pharmacy, an intensive care unit, provision of bed space for admission of psychiatric patients, and an introduction of a wellness clinic at Kubwa General Hospital.
