The Katsina State government has closed down Sa’a Clinic, a private health outfit in Funtua town.

The state’s Health Commissioner, Aminu Jamo, who gave the order on Monday, described services in the clinic as “substandard”.

Mr. Jamo, who had
earlier inspected the clinic, said that the closure became necessary
because the clinic was “operating with unqualified staff, inadequate
facilities, and very poor environmental sanitation.

“The entire
building of Sa’a Clinic is dilapidated and the facilities are below
standard, hence the decision to seal it immediately.

“Government will not allow proprietors of private clinics to operate
without the required hospital facilities, and will not allow private
clinics to flout the rules and regulations of their establishment,” he
said.
