Dr. Banigo stated this in a statement from the Government House in Port Harcourt, while reacting to the installation of the Chancellor and commencement of the Pamo University of Medical Sciences (PUMS) in Port Harcourt, South -South Nigeria.
According to the Deputy Governor, there is a dearth of qualified medical personnel to meet up the WHO recommended doctor patients ratio of 1 doctor to 600 patients in the Country, noting that the entry of the Pamo University of Medical Sciences will reverse the trend.
