In a massive display of community support, no fewer than 1,500 women and children across Kano State’s 44 local government areas have received life-saving medical attention through a large-scale outreach.

Organized by the Women Leaders Support Advancement (WLSA) Group, the two-day exercise at the Sharada Primary Healthcare Centre was designed to do more than just treat illness; it was a mission to restore dignity to the state’s most vulnerable populations.

From free diagnostic tests to the distribution of nutrient-rich food items, the initiative served as a vital bridge for those who often find themselves on the fringes of the healthcare system.

The scale of the intervention was matched by a significant deployment of medical expertise. According to Shehu Abdullahi, the State’s Director of Medical Services, a team of 64 professionals including doctors, nurses, pharmacists, and HIV counselors worked alongside local volunteers to provide comprehensive care.

Beneficiaries underwent screenings for chronic conditions like hypertension and diabetes, as well as testing and treatment for malaria, hepatitis, and syphilis. Beyond the clinical consultations, the group also distributed immune boosters to ensure that the well-being of the participants would be sustained long after the event concluded.

National Coordinator of WLSA, Fauziya Buhari-Ado, emphasized that the success of the outreach was rooted in a strong partnership with the Kano State Government and several non-governmental organizations. She noted that the program aligns with the state’s broader development agenda, focusing on the belief that healthy women are the foundation of strong families. This sentiment was echoed by the Emir of Kano, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, who, speaking through a representative, expressed deep gratitude for the intervention, noting that women and children represent the heart of the community’s future.

As the outreach wrapped up, the Kano State Commissioner for Health, Abubakar Labaran Yusuf, praised the timing and location of the project, highlighting how such collaborative efforts complement government services. Supported by a wide array of partners including the Federal Ministry of Health and various charity foundations, the WLSA initiative has set a high standard for grassroots health intervention. For the hundreds of families who filled the canopies at Sharada, the event was a reminder that through collective action, a healthier and more secure Kano is within reach.
