Kano State Commissioner of Health, Dr Aminu Ibrahim Tsanyawa, has reiterated the government commitment of the administration to sustain an adequate supply of affordable and qualitative drugs and other medical consumables to the over 1,000 public healthcare facilities across the state.

He said the government of Governor Abdullahi Ganduje knows the importance of the provision of drugs to the state public hospitals, adding that it will not relent in doing so.

Tsanyawa stated this on Thursday while declaring open a workshop on the review of Kano State Sustainable Drug Supply System (SDSS) Operational Guidelines holding in Kaduna State.
