Posted on: Thu 29-06-2017

The Bauchi State Government has directed management of public hospitals to use only proper health information recording materials in keeping patients’ medical records.
 
The Executive Secretary of the state Hospitals Management Board, Dr. Abdulaziz Manga, gave the directive while addressing participants at a two-day training workshop for general hospital record officers held in Azare.
 
Manga who expressed concern over how some hospitals take patients’ record on pieces of paper or exercise books, warned that the trend must be stopped.
 
The workshop, organised by the state hospitals board in collaboration with the state office of the Maternal and Child Survival Programme, was attended by record officers from all the 26 general hospitals in the state.
