Earlier, the Team Leader of the Christian Health Association of Nigeria, Dr. Suleiman Mshelia, explained that the association serves as the umbrella body for Christian and missionary hospitals across the country.
According to him, CHAN’s mandate includes advocating for missionary hospitals, strengthening their operational capacity, and ensuring compliance with government healthcare standards and regulations.
Mshelia disclosed that the association visited Adamawa State to recommission the Numan warehouse, originally established in 1989 but later rendered inactive due to organisational challenges.
He said the facility would now function as a major distribution hub for missionary hospitals within the region, adding that distribution operations had already commenced.
The CHAN official further stated that the association works closely with relevant government agencies to ensure effective healthcare service delivery nationwide.
He commended the administration of Governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri for its achievements in healthcare and infrastructure development, while appealing for additional financial support to strengthen missionary hospitals in the state.
