The Kano state government, in its effort to provide adequate medical care to its pilgrims, has established clinics in Makkah, Saudi Arabia.
The clinics, which are aimed at complementing the National Hajj Commission of Nigeria (NAHCON) clinic, will provide the required medical attention to the state’s pilgrims.
This was contained in a statement signed by the Press Secretary to the Deputy Governor of Kano State and Head of the Media Team for Kano State Pilgrims 2024, Alhaji Ibrahim Garba, a copy of which was made available to the press on Sunday in Kano
The statement disclosed that the State Amirul Hajj and Deputy Governor of Kano State, Comrade Aminu Abdussalam Gwarzo, are scheduled to visit the clinic immediately upon his arrival from Madinah to assess the level of commitment of the state pilgrim board to the pilgrims.
According to Ibrahim, the Coordinator of Health Matters for the State Pilgrims Board, Hajiya Binta Yusuf, revealed that approval has been given for the clinics, which will operate in House Number 5 in Makkah.
Hajiya Yusuf therefore disclosed that “BAHCON officials have visited the site and given their approval for the clinic to operate.”
Binta noted that Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf had earlier sponsored a team of 11 health professionals, led by Professor Abdurrahman Abbas Sheshe, to provide medical care to the state’s intending pilgrims.
Adding that, the establishment of the clinics is a further demonstration of the state government’s commitment to the welfare of its citizens.
She noted that Kano is the only state in Nigeria that NAHCON approved to open the clinic for its pilgrims in Makkah.
