Prophet Isa El-Buba Foundation has treated 500 Sick persons in Miango distrupt of Bassa LGA of Plateau state.
This philanthropist gestures of the foundation,sent celebrations into the hearts of the people of Miango Community, when Dr. Isa El-Buba Foundation, embarked on a free Medical outreach into the locality.
“Not less than 500 locals were diagnosed and treated on various ailments.”
The Medical Outreach took place at the LEA Primary School Chinye -Miango in Bassa LGA.
The locals trooped from the neighbouring Communities to the LEA Primary School to access the free medical treatment.
Speaking at the event, Executive Director of Dr. Isa El-Buba Foundation, Deborah El-Buba Atubi, said, "we actually had in mind to carry out a medical outreach and it is the first of its kind in the Dr. El-Buba Foundation. "We have been blessed to have a massive turn out of partners especially Doctors, Nurses, Volunteers and other Specialists from the hospitals numbering over 25 volunteers who came to cover this community." "Why we chose Bassa Local Government, Miango Community to be precised ,is because we are looking at how to impact lives and create a difference. People in the rural areas actually need us and that is one of the reasons why we came down here", she explained.
The Executive Director, however, observed that the outreach, they believed, was going to save people from death that could be avoided, hence the need for the foundation to bridge that gap and ensure that it brought solution to these problems.” She revealed that their areas of concentration included; consultations, examination & diagnosis (screening for Malaria, High Blood Pressure, HBV, Sugar level etc); Medication and Treatment respectively. She added that they have competent Consultants worky with them and they could address any referral case to hospitals especially in cases where the ailment was beyond their present capacity.
Mrs Deborah
expressed concern that Nigerians sometimes used religious centric approach to issues even when dealing with health issues saying, “we need to understand that there is a place for medicine and God has endowed these doctors with knowledge to be able to bridge the gap. "Something like headache, malaria, hypertisis and other avoidable illnesses should not kill a person. We thought alot of people are dying and they need help. In fact some people are just walking dead bodies because they do not know that they are sick and need help", Deborah warned . She commended the people of Miango for the massive turn out, describing it as very impressive because this was the first Medical outreach they have embarked upon among other empowerment Programmes to Orphanages and giving grants over the years.
Similarly,Dr. Solomon Ubochi, of the Jos University Teaching Hospital (JUTH), disclosed that so far, they had one referral case of a patient who is suffering from Tuberculosis and has not been taking his medication, but majority of the people were diagnosed with Peptic Ulcer Disease (PUD), malaria, typhoid and high blood pressure.
On their part ,some of the beneficiaries, Rev. David Rabo, of the Evangelical Church Winning All (ECWA) Miango, thanked the Foundation for the show of love and concern to the people of Miango Community and prayed God to bless the foundation. He called on other spirited individuals to emulate what this great man of God has done so that, it would further impact the lives of the less privileged and give them hope that tomorrow would be great. On his part, the Ward Head of Chinye -Miango in Bassa LGA,Yusuf Audu John Awai thanked the Foundation saying, "they have really helped his people who have been traumatized by the series of attacks and have no hope for any medication.
” Their coming is like God send to help to us”.The Ward Head of Jebu Miango Community, Mai-Angwa James Ngi Bulus, expressed happiness that they still have people who understand the feelings of his people saying, "when I heard of this, I thought it was with charges only for me to discover that it is free. May the Lord bless Dr. Isa El-Buba Foundation for this great gesture. Also Mai-Angwa Sunday Breberi, Elder Gideon Kwa, of Kitago Miango, Mrs Mercy Sene Gai and Cecilia Ize, it was a dream come through for them because that was what they really long for to come to their community since the unfortunate attacks that rocked their communities.
