The General Hospital, Ilorin, has announced its commencement of a 24-hour pharmacy service.

According to a statement from the Press Unit of the Kwara State Hospital Management Board, the extension of operation time will help improve pharmacy service delivery and allow faster access to life drugs especially in the middle of the night.

“Governor AbdulRazaq's recent recruitment approval of doctors, pharmacists and nurses made this extension of service operations at the pharmacy department possible,” the statement quoted the Executive Secretary of the Board as saying.

“We will continue to work relentlessly towards service delivery improvement regardless of the present challenges posed by the acute shortage and exodus of healthcare workers nationwide,” he added.
