The Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) has said that it would launch Zuba Cottage in 2015.
The Secretary, Health and Human Services Secretariat of the FCTA, Dr. Demola Onakomaika made the disclosure in Abuja recently, while speaking to journalists. He said an supplementary building and the employment of qualified staff are some of the issues delaying the launch of the hospital.
“The Zuba case is not abandoned because of the high rate attrition by the healthcare workers in FCT due to the cost of living. This people as soon as they get employment in other places they will leave, last year over 400 left,” he explained.
He further explained that the auxiliary building, which is meant to be a staff quarters, was not initially captured in the design of the hospital but was now being added, hence the delay in its opening.
