Despite ongoing diplomatic strains between Nigeria and Niger Republic following the withdrawal of Niger, Mali, and Burkina Faso from ECOWAS, a steady influx of patients from Niger continues to seek medical attention in Katsina State, particularly in Jibia, a border town.

A recent visit to the Comprehensive Health Centre and General Hospital in Jibia revealed dozens of patients, mostly women, from the Niger Republic receiving medical care, including antenatal and postnatal services, as well as treatment for various ailments.

Many of the women hail from Maradi State, which shares an extensive border with Katsina.
Nafisa Suleiman from Kwarmazawa village and Asma’u Haruna from Kale, both in Maradi, stated that they brought their babies to the health centre for treatment.

“They examined my baby and provided free drugs and Ready-to-Use Therapeutic Food (RUTF). The facilities here are excellent, and the services are impressive,” Nafisa said.

Similarly, Rabi Sani from Mairaga village in Maradi visited the centre for postnatal care, where her underweight baby was examined and provided with free medication and RUTF.

According to Dahiru Magaji, the official in charge of the centre, the facility records a daily influx of patients from Niger, particularly pregnant women seeking antenatal care.

“Many of them come from communities like Dan Isa, Faru, Mada-Runfa, Kale, Hirji, and Mairaga. Some even deliver their babies here,” Magaji stated.
He further highlighted recent improvements to healthcare infrastructure in Jibia, including a newly constructed pediatric ward, a doctors’ quarters, and a steady supply of medical supplies.

“Residents of Jibia receive top-quality healthcare services, but we cannot turn away those from Niger Republic who also seek medical attention here,” Magaji added.

Despite political tensions, Jibia remains a crucial healthcare destination for patients from Niger Republic, reflecting the region’s commitment to accessible healthcare for all.
