Gov. Aminu Masari of Katsina State has warned health workers in the state not to ignore patients in critical condition.

Masari gave the warning on Wednesday in Katsina in his address at the induction course organized for newly recruited health personnel in the state.

The governor expressed unhappiness with midwives and nurses who maltreat pregnant women who came to deliver babies in hospitals.

He also frowned at health personnel who neglect and refuse to give proper medical care to accident victims.

Masari reminded the health workers that they stand to reap two rewards if they diligently performed their duties.

“You will be rewarded here and in the hereafter if you do good.
