No fewer than 30,000 vulnerable patients have benefited from free medical outreach programmes of Dahiru Bara’u Mangal Foundation, across Katsina State since 2018.
A member of the foundation’s Board of Trustees, Hussaini Kabir made the disclosure on Friday during the commencement of a free hernia and hydrocele surgery programme at the General Hospital, Katsina.
He said more than 700 vulnerable patients from within and outside Katsina State are expected to undergo free hernia and hydrocele surgeries under the current exercise.
According to him, the programme is designed to improve access to healthcare services for vulnerable residents who are unable to afford treatment.
“Patients diagnosed with hernia and hydrocele are currently being screened before undergoing surgery, while those with less severe medical conditions will receive appropriate medications free of charge,” Kabir said.
