staff and relations of patients in some hospitals have
approached the members of the committee demanding for the free food being served patients on the directive of the State Governor, Kashim

hospital staff that patients were delaying their treatment because of the type of food being served at the hospitals daily by the committee.

impressed with the manner I was treated at the hospital during my illness. The nurses were nice. The medical doctors were humble and caring. The free food served me and my
children that were with me was impressive, as we were served standard and balanced diet that we cannot even afford at home.
"Even my daughter can
confess to you that we enjoyed our stay and at times we don't even eat the food that my husband used to bring for us from the house, because the free food they served us at the
hospital in the morning,
