The Kano State Government has shut down the UMC hospital in the state after it was discovered that the hospital management was attending to severe cases of COVID-19, instead of referring the patients to isolation centres provided by the state government.

While disclosing the move in a statement, the state’s Commissioner for Information, Muhammad Garba, said investigations showed that the hospital went contrary to Government’s directive and was treating COVID-19 cases in their facility.

He added that two patients died in the hospital.

“The action by UMC hospital is in parallel with the standard set by the Kano State Task Force on COVID-19, which requires such facility to attend only to mild cases of the disease.”

While a team from the State’s COVID-19 Task-Force closed down the hospital, two other patients with severe cases of COVID-19 were moved to isolation centres while other patients on admission were also taken to the Mallam Aminu Kano Teaching Hospital and Muhammadu Abdullahi Wase Specialist Hospital.

Meanwhile, according to the Kano State Ministry of Health, the state has recorded 82 COVID-19 fatalities and 3,047 confirmed cases of which 359 cases are active.
