Senate Bill seeking establishment of Fed Medical Centre Gembu
A Bill seeking legal framework for the establishment of Federal Medical Centre Gembu has scaled through second reading in the Senate.
The establishment Bill sponsored by Senator Haruna Manu representing Taraba Central Senatorial District of Taraba passed first reading last July.
If eventually passed into law, the FMC will service Gembu which is 6 to 7 hours drive from Jalingo and other environs such as Gashaka, Karumi and villages, it’s definitely not for people on the Mambila, Sardauna LGA alone as this will bring healthcare closer to so many communities.
The Bill presented on the floor of the Senate by the Majority Leader, Opeyemi Bamidele and passed for second reading.
