A Non-Governmental Organisation under the auspices of De-Lace International in collaboration with Tukur-Tukur Foundation has launched a free medical outreach in Kaduna.
The chairman, Tukur-Tukur Foundation, Col. Haruna Idris Zaria (rtd) said the foundation is committed to carrying out humanitarian interventions across the country whenever the need arises through the provision of medical succour for vulnerable, underprivileged members of the society by giving them free medical services.
“Tukur-Tukur Foundation carries out free eye screening and cataract surgery, minor eye problems are treated with drugs, drops/ointments and reading glasses are issued free. We give our wheelchairs and crutches to physical disabilities in order to ease their daily movement. We equally give our free educational materials such as school uniforms, text books, exercise books etc. Tukur-Tukur Foundation also gives out religious books for spiritual upliftment. Col. Zaria said.
Earlier, the managing director of De-Lace International, Hajiya Safiya Bashir, expressed gratitude to the grand patron of Tukur-Tukur Foundation, Lt. Gen. Tukur Yusufu Buratai, for the opportunity given to her organisation to launch the outreach in the community.
