More than 5,000 patients suffering various ailments were part of a free, three-day medical outreach sponsored by the Senator representing Adamawa South, Binos Dauda Yaroe. Beneficiaries cut across the 21 local governments of Adamawa and the neighboring Cameroon Republic. The outreach attracted thousands of people from the nine Local councils constituting the senatorial district, and from the neighboring Cameroon republic.
One of the beneficiaries, Jennifer Karbo who has had persistent miscarriages in the past underwent a cesarean section and she was delivered a baby girl. “I have suffered from hernia for the past 10 years and spent quite a lot to no avail until now. I’m grateful that I have been operated in the ongoing free medical service sponsored by our Senator. I thank him for bringing this gesture to us,” Halilu Aliyu, another beneficiary said.
Also, Alhaji Buba said: “I have been a patient of hernia for the past 6 years and hadn’t the means to seek medical service until now. And I thank God and those of you who brought this free medical service to us. The lawmaker was applauded for putting together a medical outreach in which various medical conditions were successfully treated.
Adamawa residents are now calling on other well-meaning citizens to emulate the lawmaker by sponsoring similar outreaches to complement the state government’s grassroots healthcare program.
