Taraba healthcare under strain amid shortage of doctors, poor infrastructure - Daily Post Nigeria

Public healthcare in Taraba State is strained due to a shortage of doctors and poor infrastructure. Patients face long waits and delayed surgeries, as reported by Yerima Ato of Wukari, whose surgery was postponed because doctors were unavailable. General hospitals often rely on doctors from the Federal Medical Centre in Jalingo. Hajara Thomas urged the state government to urgently recruit health workers for rural areas.
