Over 300 residents of Malali, a suburb in Kaduna North, recently benefited from a free medical outreach organized by AbdulAzeez Kaka, Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Stakeholders Forum in Kaduna State. The outreach, held over the weekend, addressed the needs of individuals suffering from various ailments who often cannot afford medical bills. Beneficiaries, primarily women, children, and the elderly, received free diagnoses, medications, and treatments for conditions such as malaria, hypertension, diabetes, and high blood pressure. Professional health workers also provided brief health talks, offering guidance on healthy community practices, and a mass deworming exercise was conducted for children.
Kaka stated that the initiative was inspired by Governor Uba Sani’s dedication to improving healthcare access for the masses. He emphasized the outreach as a means to support the government’s efforts in strengthening primary healthcare and to give back to his constituency, the people of Badarawa Malali Ward. He also acknowledged the material and moral support he received from Seyi Tinubu, son of President Bola Tinubu.
Kaka noted the enthusiasm of the community to access the free medical services, highlighting the potential severity of untreated common ailments. He also mentioned that nearly 3,000 individuals have been empowered with vocational skills through his past initiatives, enabling them to achieve financial independence. Kaka urged Kaduna North residents to support Governor Uba Sani, praising his “unprecedented achievements” in just two years, and encouraged Nigerians to trust in President Bola Tinubu’s reforms, expressing optimism about the ongoing reduction in the prices of essential commodities. Beneficiaries expressed their gratitude for the outreach.
