Kafanchan (Nigeria): Mr Daniel Amos (APC – Kaduna) has provided free medical surgeries worth N120m to no fewer than 1,600 of his constituents.
Amos, who represents Jema’a and Sanga Federal Constituency, inaugurated the 4th edition of the medical outreach at the Patrick Yakowa Hospital in Kafanchan on Thursday.
He stated that the initiative was aimed at improving the quality of life of his constituents.
“Today is not just another ceremony. It is another chapter in our collective journey toward accessible, affordable, and community-rooted health care for our people.
“It is a reaffirmation of our belief that leadership must touch lives in practical, measurable, and meaningful ways.
“It is our responsibility to use public office as a platform to uplift lives,” he added.
The lawmaker, who chairs the Committee on House Services, said that the 4th edition of the outreach was the most ambitious, not just in scale, but in vision and reach.
“This year, we aim to deliver healthcare to more beneficiaries than all previous editions combined.
“We are offering 1,200 general surgeries, 400 eye surgeries, while 3000 reading glasses are to be distributed.
“Our target is to significantly expand across the wards in both Jema’a and Sanga, ensuring that no community, however remote, is left behind,” he stated.
Amos restated his commitment to making the outreach bigger and better every year, regardless of whether he was in office.
In their remarks, Gov. Uba Sani, represented by Dr Jonathan Gajere, Director, Medical Services and Sen. Sunday Katung, represented by Mr Gideon Gwani, a former Rep. member, lauded Amos for prioritising the health and well-being of the people.
They pledged to work with him to bring more health care interventions, including facility upgrades, equipment support and more robust health-related projects to the area and the state at large.
Other dignitaries described the gesture as an act of compassion and an actual demonstration of responsive leadership.
Some of the beneficiaries thanked the lawmaker for the opportunity to receive medical attention they had put off for years due to financial constraints.
The medical outreach was organised in collaboration with Graceland Healthcare Foundation.
