NIGERIA. Gombe State: The MTN Foundation has given the Federal Teaching Hospital (FTH) in Gombe State, Northeastern Nigeria, a medical instrument worth N100 million.
Two sets of dental chairs and extractions are included in the equipment.
Two gynaecology endoscopy operation sets, ovaries, fallopian tubes, and an ENT working station are among the others. The following equipment will help with some operations and complement the surgical process.
The Minister for Communication and Digital Economy, Professor Isa Ali Ibrahim Pantami, who received the equipment at FTH in Gombe state, praised the MTN Foundation’s efforts and thanked them for their humanitarian assistance.
Pantami also stated that MTN Foundation’s donation idea is exceptional and worthy of imitation by other organizations. This also demonstrates that MTN Foundation is willing to support and complement the government’s efforts to make life easier for its citizens as part of its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR).
“Therefore, we call on other organizations and agencies to do the same to support the government in their own little ways,” Pantami added.
During the commissioning and handover of the equipment, the state’s Deputy Governor, Manasseh Dniel Jatau, expressed gratitude to the MTN Foundation for their human intervention, particularly given its population crisis.
