“We are always ready to ensure citizens’ health is prioritised; hence, I have made an emergency arrangement to visit the hospital after your report to investigate and make findings, even though the information in your stories should have been balanced with us before publishing.” She said
When this reporter replied with, “We called the ministry’s PRO and waited for more than 24 hours without a response to questions submitted. The PRO confirmed submitting the questions to a director, but, unfortunately, we received no response, only strategic denials with excuses after follow-up calls.”
“Furthermore, my doors are open; kindly direct your findings to me, and I assure you of swift actions,” she added
However, the commissioner reiterates her commitment to upholding professionalism in the health sector as she works to deliver quality and impactful service to ensure citizens enjoy the deserved medical care.
