The management of Ahmadu Bello University Teaching Hospital (ABUTH), Zaria, Kaduna State, on Thursday, said it had commenced provision of free health services to low income earners in its neighbouring communities.
The Chief Medical Director (CMD) of the hospital, Professor Lawal Khalid, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Zaria, that the services were being provided for indigenes of all the villages within and around the hospital’s immediate environment.
The CMD said the hospital introduced the measure to assist the underprivileged suffering from different ailments.
He said the humanitarian gesture was being conducted with the assistance of members of the public, who provided the fund, while the hospital provided the expertise.
He, however, said that the treatment being provided only covered ailments that did not require major surgical operations.
“We will follow people to their homes to assist but this does not mean they should desist from going to hospitals for this is just a humanitarian gesture,” he said.
The CMD observed that some people did not want to go to the hospital because of cultural influence or nature of their engagements.
He called on the targeted communities to take advantage of the gesture.
