The Vice Chairman of Sakinah Medical Outreach, Prof. Aisha Abubakar, has said the organization has, over the past 17 years, supported numerous beneficiaries across the country through financial assistance, medical treatment, and other forms of healthcare intervention.
She made this known today at an ongoing medical outreach organized by Dankofa Foundation in partnership with Sakinah Medical Outreach at the District Head’s Office in Kakuri Community, Kaduna South Local Government Area of Kaduna State.
The outreach featured medical consultations, blood pressure and blood sugar checks, malaria and tuberculosis tests, health talks, and the distribution of free drugs.
Prof. Aisha said the organization had also facilitated overseas medical treatment for some beneficiaries whose conditions required specialized care that was unavailable locally.
According to her, the organization’s long-standing commitment to improving access to healthcare has remained focused on reaching people who might otherwise struggle to afford essential medical services.
“In the past 17 years, we have been able to support many beneficiaries in different areas of healthcare, including financial assistance and treatment here in Nigeria, while some have also been flown abroad for treatment,” she said.
She said the organization was pleased to partner with Dankofa Foundation, describing the collaboration as part of its broader commitment to supporting underserved communities.
Prof. Aisha stressed that the organization would continue to work with like-minded foundations and organizations whose objectives aligned with its humanitarian mission.
She said partnerships of this nature were essential to expanding the reach and impact of humanitarian healthcare interventions, particularly in communities where access to quality medical services remained a challenge.
“We are pleased to partner with Dankofa Foundation to continue this good work of reaching and supporting underserved communities. We will continue to partner with like-minded organizations in the service of humanity,” she added.
