Kano, Nov. 25, 2016 (NAN) Gov. Abdullahi Ganduje of Kano State has pledged to promote radiography practice in the state.
Ganduje made the promise on Friday at the opening of the 48th Annual Conference and Scientific Workshop organised by Kano branch of the Association of Radiography in Kano.
The governor, who was represented by the Commissioner for Health, Dr Kabir Getso, said government has taken steps in repositioning healthcare delivery in the state to the best attainable standard.
The government, he said, has been at its best to strengthen quality healthcare through institutionalising sound policies and programmes that would respond to the challenges of the health sector based on global best practices.
The governor described radiography practice as critical in any diagnosis of any ailments without which there would be no correct and proper management of diseases.
Earlier in their remarks, the President of the association, Dr Mark Okeji, and state Chairman of the association, Mr Muhammad Sidi, commended the state government for its strategies in tackling health issues by providing specialised medical equipment in some facilities and renovating and upgrading them.
