The health agencies are also to inspect and monitor the delivery of healthcare services in the 178 wards across the state.
Assenting the bills, yesterday, in Damaturu, the governor disclosed: “The laws are to boost healthcare delivery to our people and victims of road accidents.”
He added that the two agencies were to “provide and monitor” healthcare facilities based on global best practices.
According to him, YEMAS will provide victims of road accidents opportunity for first aid treatment before they are evacuated to hospitals for treatment.
He added that HFIMA empowers health authorities to inspect and monitor services provided by the health workers.
“This will prevent the rendering of substandard healthcare services to the people due to corner-cutting in healthcare delivery.”
He, therefore, warned the health workers not to compromise at the primary and tertiary health institutions in the state.
