Recently updated on November 4th, 2018 at 03:16 pm

Kano state government has signed into law the state Contributory Health Care Agency Bill 2016.

The Contributory Health Care is a scheme that, among other things, facilitates payment for medical and surgical expenses incurred by civil servants in the state, included in their benefit packages as a means of motivating them.

As the scheme is being implemented, private sector workers would also be incorporated.

The scheme would be expanded subsequently to accommodate community involvement, so that access to health care delivery services in the grassroots would be enhanced.

In addition, a nine – member Task Force on Graveyards, headed by the state Commissioner for Environment, Mr. Ali Haruna Makoda.

The state Task Force would collaborate with the state Standing Committee on Graveyards to improve their standard and to ensure renovation where necessary, as some of the final resting places were recently ravaged by flood and other environmental problems.
