“The Heart Doctors” To Provide Free Medical Care In Niger State

Five local government areas in Niger State are to benefit from a free medical outreach from a philanthropic organisation, “The Heart Doctors,” from Greece.

This was disclosed by the leader of the delegation from the organisation, Mrs Eleni Sotirou, during a courtesy visit to farmer Governor Mohammed Umaru Bago at the Niger State liaison office in Abuja.

She explained that the visit was ahead of the free medical outreach across the Shiroro, Munya, Agaie, Paikoro, and Chanchaga Local Government Areas of the state, adding that the exercise will last for 10 days.

Mrs Sotirou commended the farmer governor for his giant strides in the health and other sectors, especially the ongoing construction of the Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) camp in the Shiroro local government area, the revamping of the Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida (IBB) Specialist Hospital, and the overhauling of primary healthcare facilities across the state, among others.

She also appreciated the farmer governor for his hospitality and support whenever they visit Niger State for their humanitarian services.

In his response, the farmer Governor Umaru Bago thanked the team for their continued efforts in supporting healthcare delivery in the state.

He described the intervention of “The Heart Doctors” as a worthy partnership that is complementary to his administration’s vision for a healthier citizenry.

Other members of the visiting team include Dr John Sotirou, Mr Pantelis Ypsilantis, Mrs Mairi Ypsilantis, Mrs Mairi Giataganas, Mr George Giataganas, and the team’s Niger State Coordinators, Dr Mustapha Jibril Alheri and Adams Mustapha.
