The Plateau State Government has presented three buses and one ambulance to key health institutions to enhance service delivery and strengthen the healthcare system in the state. The vehicles were distributed to the Plateau State Specialist Hospital, the Plateau State Primary Health Care Board, and the Plateau State Ministry of Health to improve their operational capacity.
The presented vehicles include a 2025 model ambulance and a 14-seater Toyota HiAce bus for the Plateau State Specialist Hospital, as well as additional Toyota HiAce buses for the Primary Health Care Board and the Ministry of Health.
Presenting the vehicles at Government House, Rayfield, Jos, Governor Caleb Mutfwang, represented by the Secretary to the State Government, Arch. Nanchang Samuel Jatau, said the gesture is part of ongoing efforts to revitalise the health sector.
Jatau acknowledged the challenges facing the sector, including limited funding and competing demands, noting that the government is taking gradual but steady steps to address critical needs. He described the provision of a functional ambulance to the Plateau State Specialist Hospital as timely, expressing concern that the facility previously lacked a working ambulance.
The Commissioner for Health, Nicholas Bamlong, expressed appreciation to the state government for prioritising the health sector, noting that the administration had earlier provided six ambulances to support the state’s emergency response system.
The vehicles are expected to ease movement for staff and enhance service delivery across the benefiting institutions, with measures to be put in place to monitor their usage and ensure accountability.
