The SSG parley with journalists within and outside the state came after the Commissioner of Home Affairs, Information and Culture, Hon. Abdullahi Bego, and the Director General of Press and Media Affairs, Comrade Mohammed Mamman took journalists round projects executed by the administration across the 17 local government areas of Yobe.
In the health sector, our correspondent observed that, apart from the employment of health personnel, free dialysis has been offered to over 600 patients every month at Yobe State University Teaching Hospital (YSUTH) as approved by the governor.
This is because Yobe has the highest cases of kidney disease or renal failure in the country, as most of the communities on the shores of Yobe/Kumadugu River in northern part of the state suffer most.
Addressing journalists during the tour of projects, the Chief Medical Director of YSUTH, Dr. Baba Waru Goni, said the free dialysis and treatment has been going on for almost six years.

Goni, while receiving the journalists, led by Bego, at the over 400-bed capacity Mamman Ali Maternal and Child Complex built by Buni and commissioned by former President Muhammadu Buhari, said the state-of-the-art facility is not only saving millions of lives, but also serves as referral and research centre in addressing maternal mortality in the North-East.
While taking journalists round the Maternal Unit, especially the Labour, Incubator, In-Born and Out-Born Sections, the CMD said the facility records about 20 to 30 deliveries at once.

“This is the 400- bed capacity Mamman Ali Maternal and Child Complex built by His Excellency, Governor Mai Mala Buni. It is a gigantic facility located within the premises of YSUTH. The facility records about 20 to 30 deliveries at once,” he stated.
“It was established in order to address all forms of maternal mortality issues and child health indices in this part of the country. The over one decade Boko Haram crisis has forced millions of our people into displacement.
“This has led to the influx of Internally Displaced Persons, IDPs, into Damaturu and environs for safety, which also led to increase in healthcare needs of the population.
“Therefore, Governor Buni, who is committed to the provision of accessible and quality healthcare services, embarked on completion this project that is now put to use and saving millions of lives.
“It will interest you to know that kidney related diseases are so rampant in Yobe, particularly among people residing in the communities along the Yobe/Kumadugu River, and to address the increasing menace of kidney failure, Governor Buni, in collaboration with Ministry of Health and the Biomedical Science Research and Training Centre located at the College of Medical Science, Yobe State University (YSU), runs free dialysis and treatment to over 600 patients on monthly basis at this institution, because treatment of renal failure is very costly and, therefore, this is a great succor to our people.
“As you are also aware of FX, most of the medical consumables are procured from foreign countries, and the average cost of dialysis per patient is about N50, 000, but the state government under the leadership of Governor Buni has graciously approved and directed free dialysis in this hospital”.
