Beautiful Gate Handicapped People’s Centre, Jos paid a visit to Angwan Saba also known as Gidan Saba of Shendam LGA, Plateau State where sick individuals who could not afford regular orthopedic hospitals are treated.
The Executive Director (BGHPC), Chief Ayuba Burki Gufwan who was ostensibly taken aback by how massive yet overwhelming the “hospital” and the patients’ condition appeared, left him disturbed.
Chief Gufwan who was in company of his friend’s and staff expressed his disappointment at the sorry state of affairs and lack of support from leaders to improve the local otopedic hospital and of course, appealed to good spirited individuals and leaders to intervene in Angwan Saba.
The patients, numbering about 200 were in a dire need of basic things amenities like water, power, kitchen, a better place to lay their heads, mattresses among other things.
Some of the parents who sustained bone injuries of varying degrees, ranging from fracture, dislocation etc.
Some of the patients have lived there for more than a year while some got better barely few months of getting there.
There are people undergoing treatment of various magnitude from around the northern axis of the country.
In all these, there’s really no government presence in Angwan Saba, hence the need for leaders and good spirited individuals to intervene in order to better the lot of these people.
The “CMD” who expressed gratitude for the crutches and walkers Chief Gufwan donated, appealed for support from government as they’re short of where to keep the ever increasing patients in their home/hospital.
In the end, Chief Gufwan promised to still support them to alleviate the sufferings of the masses in that hospital.
