The Tinubu Abba Barau Medics (TAB Medics) has rolled out a vital free malaria intervention, delivering critical screening, treatment, and mosquito nets to 200 residents of Babban Giji Ward in Kano.
Weekend’s outreach at Hausawa Special Primary School delivered essential relief straight to the grassroots, providing free malaria screenings, medication, and insecticide-treated nets to the community
The Convener of TAB Medics, Aliyu Samba, said the initiative was part of his commitment to supporting efforts to eliminate malaria in Kano State by helping families access free diagnosis, treatment and preventive healthcare services.
Samba explained that the initiative was designed to reach communities with essential malaria interventions and reduce the burden of the disease on families.
He said the programme provides free medical treatment for malaria patients, free malaria diagnosis, distribution of mosquito nets and mosquito-control interventions, including insecticide spraying.
According to him, the initiative is driven by the vision of ensuring that families, particularly those in underserved communities, have access to basic malaria prevention and treatment services without financial barriers.
Samba noted that the free outreach would be extended to other communities as part of efforts to promote healthier households and contribute to a malaria-free Kano.
In his remarks, the Ward Head of Hausawa Loko, Malam Bala Sa’idu, who spoke on behalf of the beneficiaries, expressed appreciation to the convener for bringing the intervention to the community.
“I am deeply grateful to Aliyu Samba for bringing this commendable initiative to us. Not everyone has the opportunity to remember and extend such gestures to people in their own community.
“I also pray for blessings for the leaders he works with, from the President of the country to the Deputy President of the Senate and the Governor of Kano State, for supporting and nurturing him to the point where he could bring this laudable intervention to our community,” he said.
Similarly, the APC Ward Secretary of Babban Giji, Malam Shafiu, expressed appreciation on behalf of the party’s leadership and other stakeholders in the ward.
He commended the convener for the intervention, describing it as a meaningful contribution to improving access to healthcare at the grassroots.
The outreach forms part of TAB Medics’ broader commitment to malaria prevention, early diagnosis, treatment and public health awareness, with a focus on taking essential healthcare services closer to communities.
