Heart Doctors from Greece have donated a newly constructed primary healthcare centre to the people of Gusun village, Kabo Ward, in Gurara Local Government Area of Niger.

The project, tagged “Heart Doctors Project 2025”, was facilitated by Mustapha Alheri, former Commissioner of Health in Niger.

Speaking at the commissioning of the project, Eheni Sotinou, who led the Heart Doctors’ team, commended Governor Umaru Bago of Niger for his exceptional leadership.

“Since our intervention across the world, Africa, and Nigeria, we have never received a warm reception like the one Governor Bago gave us in Niger,” she said.

Ms Sotinou explained that the team visited the Gusun community on November 9, 2024, and were moved to assist after seeing the deplorable state of the facility.

“We came from Greece, we learned from our fathers to assist,” she said.

In his remarks, Mr Alheri thanked Mr Bago for his development strides, saying it had attracted investors to the state.

He commended the people for their cooperation and thanked the heart doctors for their intervention in Niger in particular and the country at large.

The Gurara Local Government Council secretary, Sadaiuki Abubakar, thanked the Heart Doctors for the facility and Alheri for facilitating the construction.

The village head of Kabo, Salisu Ahmadu, commended the Heart Doctors for coming to the aid of the community with the health facility.
