The Kano State Ultra-Modern Specialist Hospital Board (KUSH) has announced plans to revive the Muhammadu Buhari Specialist Hospital in the Giginyu area of Kano state.

The decision comes after the facility was shut down amid a dispute between the state government, led by former Governor Abdullahi Ganduje, and Northfield Health Service, the private partners responsible for its operation.

Following a report by a radio station in the state (Freedom Radio) revealing the hospital’s closure after a dispute between the former state government under Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje and Northfield Health Service, the private partners tasked with managing the hospital.

Since its closure, reports indicate that the hospital premises have been overrun by weeds, cobwebs and reptiles, with all equipment in the facility left to deteriorate.

The hospital, which was completed and commissioned by former President Muhammadu Buhari in 2017, had previously conducted its first successful brain surgery before its eventual closure.

Grassroots Parrot reports that the Chairman of the KUSH board, Dr. Zayyad Farouq, explained that the hospital’s shutdown was prompted by a lawsuit against the state government.

He stated, “The previous government had granted a concession to a private healthcare company, Northfield Health Services, to manage the hospital on a public-private partnership basis. However, the government later terminated the agreement and closed the hospital for reasons that remain unclear.”

He further added that discussions are underway with Northfield Health Services to reach an out-of-court settlement, with the aim of reopening the hospital. Dr. Farouq emphasized the commitment of the current administration, led by His Excellency Engr. Abba Kabir Yusuf, to facilitate the hospital’s reopening and renovation for the benefit of the people of Kano state.

While expressing optimism about the hospital’s revival, Dr. Farouq highlighted the need to resolve ongoing litigation inherited from the previous government.

He assured that once this legal hurdle is overcome, the hospital will be operational again, serving the healthcare needs of the people.
