“From the tour, what I see is drive for excellence and dedication to duty among personnel of the police hospitals we visited.
“I can assure them that under the present administration of President Bola Tinubu, help will come and we will make police hospitals the best in Nigeria,”she said.

The minister commended the personnel for their dedication and resilience in the face of challenging circumstances.
“Our government recognises the critical role that quality healthcare plays in the well-being of both our serving and retired officers.
“We are committed to enhancing the quality of these facilities to ensure they meet the highest standards of care.
“This will be done by upgrading equipment, improving infrastructure and providing the necessary resources to support healthcare professionals in their noble work,”she said.
