Aminu Kano Teaching Hospital AKTH Kano said their General Out Patients Department (GOPD) would commence afternoon consultation of patients on Saturdays and Sundays.
The Head of the GOPD department of the hospital said Dr Michael Godpower stated the development recently.
He said the decision is to decongest the clinic during the weekdays between Mondays to Friday.
He added that the initiative was also part of the effort of the management and the department to ensure that more patients have access to the care needed in the hospital.
Dr Michael draws the attention of the patients and the general public to note that the weekends morning consultations are still going on at the Family Medicine Department of the hospital between 8:00 am to 12:00 noon.
