Abdulmalik Zubairu, a Member of the House of Representatives for Bungudu/Maru Federal Constituency in Zamfara State, has sponsored a Medical Outreach aimed at assisting over 500 patients with Ear, Nose, and Throat (E.N.T) cases within his constituency.
According to a statement released on Thursday in Gusau, the state capital, by Aminu Lawal Bungudu, Technical Assistant Strategy, Media, and Communications Office of the lawmaker, the sponsored program was conducted in collaboration with the consulting firm “SUBEEY AUDIOLOGY CLINIC” located at Fadama Plaza in Gusau.
This initiative follows Zubairu’s previous partnership with the National Headquarters of the Islamic Medical Association of Nigeria (IMAN), where a medical outreach was organised, treating over 1600 patients with various ailments, including surgical cases, free of charge.
The E.N.T outreach, conducted in both Bungudu and Maru LGAs on Tuesday, March 5th and Wednesday, March 6th, encompassed diagnosis, treatment, distribution of drugs, referrals, and provision of hearing-aid facilities.

The primary aim of initiating this program was to alleviate the financial burden on households related to medical cases, especially during times of economic hardship.
“I deem it essential to collaborate with governmental and non-governmental organizations to ensure my constituents can access their health needs with relative ease, considering the prevailing economic challenges they face,” Hon. Zubairu emphasized.
A total of 507 patients from Bungudu and Maru LGAs were consulted and treated during the two-day exercise.
“We remain committed to exploring avenues to provide relief to our constituents,” Zubairu affirmed.
