NYSC launches health initiative for rural dwellers in Niger
The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) on Monday launched the second quarter Health Initiative for Rural Dwellers (HIRD) in Niger State.
The NYSC coordinator in the state, Abdulwahab Alidat, launched the initiative in Gidan Kuta Village, Shanu community in Chanchaga Local Government Area, to provide opportunities for free medical consultation, diagnosis, and treatment for people in the hinterlands.
Ms Alidat commended the large turnout of community members and advised them to take advantage of the gesture to access healthcare services.
Ibrahim Wakili, the Gunduma of Gidan Kuta Village, thanked the NYSC for bringing the healthcare initiative to the community.
He said the gesture indicated that the scheme was mindful of the health needs of poor citizens, who may find it difficult to access medical care.
Free medical consultations and treatment of people in the community followed the launch of the initiative.
