Residents of Bade Local Government Area in Yobe State, Nigeria, have launched a crowdfunding campaign to support a medical outreach program aimed at helping those suffering from kidney disease. The initiative, led by local doctor Dr. Hamza Tasi’u, seeks to alleviate the financial and logistical burden on patients who currently have to travel to the state capital, Damaturu, for dialysis treatments. Patients and community members have long urged the state government to establish a dialysis center in Gashua, the local government headquarters, but these requests have not been fulfilled. Despite promises from the government to build such a facility, no progress has been made, prompting the community to take action independently. Local nurse Yusuf Nadabo emphasized the importance of the government prioritizing healthcare infrastructure to address the ongoing public health challenge.
