Aisha Shehu Adamu, Medical Doctor who Make Appreciable Impact.

"Famous Medical Doctor Who Made Huge Contributions to Healthcare Service delivery"

The preservation and restoration of health are integral parts of any healthy and well-functioning society. 
Dr. Aisha innovation, hard work, and devotion changed the face of Federal Medical Centre Jalingo.

Her achievements is remarkable in every sense. People are bound to wonder. It’s the kind that fables are made of. 

we are keenly aware of the work that you’re doing to help patients across Taraba State.  

The Medical Director, Federal Medical Center Jalingo Taraba State, Dr. Aisha Shehu Adamu have delightfully and patriotically risen to the task.  The FMC Jalingo is the only federal government owned tertiary health facility in the state, which also renders medical services to neighbouring states .

Managing the FMC Jalingo effectively has proven to be an uphill task as virtually at preceding Medical Directors can attest. The hospital is perennially plagued by shortage of personnel, especially medical doctors, poor facilities and restive medical unions.  With lean resources, it takes the grace of God to create impact in the management of the medical facility to satisfy public yearnings for qualitative and affordable tertiary health care delivery to the citizenry.

However, an astute administrator and prudent manager of resources, Dr. Aisha Adamu,  who was appointed the MD in March 2020 is gradually daring the odds, breaking the barriers and creating unexpected impacts. Her judicious application of meagre resources has set the hospital on an unprecedented path of development, attracting public applause to her credit.

Dr. Aisha stands tall from her predecessors, with glaring and uncommon development strides and impacts on the medical facility. What arrested public instant attention recently, she improved sanitary condition of the health facility.

Clean wards, beddings, flowery and scintillating environment, with inviting fragrance were alluring.  Staff discipline has also improved, as services were speedily rendered to patients   and with an unusual politeness. This is a marked departure from the culture of the past when staff were more at home bullying patients. Or put differently, their uncouth official behavior was capable of worsening the health condition of an already traumatized  patients battling with life.

Aside improving the working atmosphere and interaction between staff and patients, the incumbent administrator has delved into providing special services not offered by the hospital before now.  

For the first time in the history of the hospital, medical services that have never been provided that  had to spend huge sums of money to access the services in Abuja or elsewhere, but Dr. Aisha has ended the nightmare.

Majority of the people in Jalingo excitedly how they have been   relieved from the burden of seeking such specialized services at exorbitant costs in far places and praised the foresight and dexterity of the new leadership at FMC led by Dr. Aisha.

Therefore, we understand that those who are disciplined enough to impact with little resources, can perform incredibly even when they are trusted with more funds.  

I am impressed that Dr. Aisha has demonstrated commitment to the development of the hospital and she is uncompromisingly  determined to reposition it as one of the best of such health facilities in the country.

That she has been able to minimize the industrial restiveness in the hospital from medical unions alone is an indication of her unbeatable suave in leadership.

I hope to see more of such positive results sprout from this health facility.
