They made the donation Friday when the Speaker paid a
sympathy visit to patients at the hospital in Bauchi.

the lack of adequate medical facilities in the health centres especially in a
period when the country was coming out of economic recession.

that due to economic challenges people were finding it difficult to pay their
medical bills which he said prompted them to visit the hospital and give
helping hands to patients.

of the patients which included; 20 cancer patients, some Kidney ailment
patients and a police officer who was recently shot by his colleague.
