As part of its ongoing commitment to healthcare access and community welfare, the Suleiman Yahyah Foundation has successfully delivered free medical services to thousands of Nigerians in Maska, Funtua Local Government Area, Katsina State.
The medical outreach featured a comprehensive healthcare intervention including free consultations, diagnostic tests, essential medications, and hepatitis vaccinations, with a special focus on women and children.
Speaking at the event, Chairman of the Foundation, Alhaji Suleiman Yahyah, described the initiative as a fulfilment of his duty to support the less privileged, in accordance with Islamic injunctions.
“The Foundation was established 16 years ago to support the poor and vulnerable, and we remain committed to that mission,” Yahyah stated.
He added: “As a businessman, we give back through zakat and various philanthropic programs that uplift communities.”
The event witnessed the participation of medical professionals from Kaduna and Funtua, offering services to individuals suffering from a range of medical conditions.
The Maska intervention is the latest in a series of free medical outreaches previously carried out by the Foundation, including programmes in Sardauna Crescent, Kaduna North Local Government in 2021, Akko Community in Gombe State in 2022, and several other locations.
Commending the initiative, the District Head of Funtua and Monarch of Maska, Alhaji Mainasara Idris, noted: “This outreach reflects a deep commitment to humanitarian service. Alhaji Suleiman Yahyah is a God-fearing patriot whose compassion continues to transform lives in Maska and beyond. May Allah reward him richly.”
Lawal Hamisu Maska, Head of Primary Healthcare in Maska, described the outreach as one of the largest health interventions in recent memory.
“I have never seen such a turnout. The number of people treated, and the quality of care provided were outstanding. We are truly grateful,” he said.
Several beneficiaries also expressed their appreciation.
Audu Hamisu Maska, who received treatment for hypertension and ulcer, said: “All services were provided free of charge. I pray Allah blesses the founder abundantly.”
Aminu Ango, another beneficiary, added: “I received treatment for an eye problem and pelvic pain, all at no cost. May Allah grant him more strength and resources.”
Halimatu Alhaji Ado, who received treatment for an ovarian ailment, also remarked: “This support came at the right time. I didn’t pay anything and I’m already feeling better.”
