The Director, Hospital Services, Federal Ministry of Health Joseph Amedu announced this during a sensitisation workshop on implementation of assets insurance of parastatals under the ministry, in Abuja.
The workshop was organised by the ministry in conjunction with the consortium of Insurance Companies and Brokers.
