NBA President Donates PPEs To Garki Hospital

President of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), Yakubu Maikyau, has donated 10,050 Personal Protective Equipment (PPEs) to Garki Hospital, Abuja, saying that it was in line with his passion of his to encourage medical personnel in service delivery

Maikyau said he had been carrying out medical outreaches in his Kebbi State in partnership with health personnel who he described as doing well, especially his collaboration with the Medicare Foundation and others.

He said it had been a part of him to be a health provider.

The NBA boss said, “This is the beginning of a good relationship with the management of the hospital and we are happy to see improvements.

“I actually thought that I will come here quietly and do what we have to do but I quickly told myself that this is the public and I know that my colleagues will not be please with me because I didn’t intend to do this in my capacity but in the capacity of the NBA and I intend to understand that one cannot begin to separate himself and that of the office that he is occupying. I’m not a medical officer, but in my start up I almost venture into a medical career but maybe God has made this an opportunity for me to do this which I would have done as may be a medical doctor.
