More than 5,000 patients suffering various ailments were part of a free, three day medical outreach sponsored the Senator representing Adamawa South, Binos Dauda Yaroe.
Beneficiaries cut across the 21 local governments of Adamawa and neighbouring Cameroon Republic.

The outreach attracted thousands of people from the nine Local councils constituting the senatorial district, and from neighbouring Cameroon
republic.
One of the beneficiaries, Jennifer Karbo who has had persistent miscarriages in the past underwent a caesarean section and she was delivered of
a baby girl.
“I have suffered from hyneer for the past 10 years and spent quite a lot to no avail until now. I’m grateful that I have been operated in the ongoing free medical service sponsored by our Senator. I thank him for bring this gesture to us,” Halilu Aliyu, another beneficiary said
Also, Alhaji Buba said: “I have been a patient of hyneer for the past 6 years and hadn’t the means to seek medical service until now. And I thank God and those of you who brought this free medical service to us.
