The Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) has deployed alternative means of payment for patients to ease the difficulties in accessing medical services in hospitals.
Abubakar Tafida, secretary, health and human services secretariat, FCTA, disclosed this at a news conference on Wednesday.
“Worried by the challenges faced by patients in making payment in the hospital to receive medical attention, the secretary has mandated all the medical directors to engage the service of multiple point of sale operators in their various facilities as an alternative to pay the medical bills”, he said.

Tafida warned that the FCT administration would not hesitate to sanction any medical official that refused to attend to patients because of the CBN cashless policy.
He assured residents that the FCT administration was doing everything possible to ease their challenges.
He added that the situation was not just peculiar to the FCT but a national challenge which he said would soon be over.
