HEART Doctors from Greece have donated a newly constructed Primary Healthcare Centre to the people of Gusun Village, Kabo Ward in Gurara Local Government Area of Niger.
The project, tagged “Heart Doctors Project 2025”, was facilitated by Dr Mustapha Alheri, former Commissioner of Health in Niger.
Speaking at the commissioning of the project, Mrs Eheni Sotinou, who led the Heart Doctors’ team, commended Gov. Umaru Bago of Niger for his exceptional leadership.
“Since our intervention across the world, Africa, and Nigeria, we have never received a warm reception like the one Governor Bago gave us in Niger,” she said.
Sotinou explained that the Heart Doctors visited Gusun community on Nov. 9, 2024, and were moved to assist after seeing the deplorable state of the facility.
“We came from Greece, we learned from our fathers to assist,” she said.
The Heart Doctors’ team emphasised that they do not discriminate based on religion or tribe.
“We understand that we are all one, and God is one. We try to help people to be balanced in life,” Sotinou said.
In his remarks, Alheri thanked Gov. Bago for his development strides, saying it had attracted investors to the state.
He commended the people for their cooperation and thanked the Heart Doctors for their intervention in Niger in particular and the country at large.
The Secretary of Gurara Local Government council, Sadaiuki Abubakar also thanked the Heart Doctors for the facility and Alheri for facilitating the construction.
The village Head of Kabo, Alhaji Salisu Ahmadu, commended the Heart Doctors for coming to the aid of the community with the health facility.
“The gesture would never be forgotten and would stand the test of time,” he said.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that stakeholders, community leaders and residents of Gusun Village attended the commissioning of the project.
The facility, which was constructed and equipped by the Heart Doctors, is expected to provide quality healthcare services to the people of Gusun Village and its environs.(NAN)
