The health sector has witnessed positive changes, with hospitals serving as agents of healthcare service delivery for patients and those in need of medical services.

Likewise, our health institution, the University of Maiduguri Teaching Hospital (UMTH), contributes to healthcare services, and despite the challenges faced, the CMD Prof. Faruk Buba will no doubt make a difference.

Aside from providing medical and healthcare, UMTH is a training institution for medical students; it also provides space for medical research and development (R&D) in various fields of medicines, which UMTH is long known for.

Whenever an organization or institution has a new chief executive, expectations are always high. The case of UMTH is not exceptional, as Prof. Faruk Buba now takes charge as the 9th Chief Medical Director of UMTH.

The atmosphere presently at UMTH is one of expectations of positive changes and performance to reset and reboot the hospital to engage staff and workers to deliver effective, efficient, and quality healthcare services.

UMTH under the leadership of Prof. Buba shall be better than he met it, going by his medical and administrative experiences/positions he held before: Deputy Chairman Medical Advisory Committee (DCMAC), Chairman Anti-Corruption and Transparency Unit (UMTH), Director of Ahmed Bola Tinubu ICT Centre, among other positions held.

Prof. Faruk Buba was born some 57 years ago. A professor of cardiology/consultant. He attended Ahmadu Bello University Zaria and began his medical career with UMTH and rose to where he is today. He hails from Gombe State.
