In a sustainable boost in advancing health reform, the Kaduna State Government has partnered with a Saudi Arabia–based Muslim World League Headquarters to strengthen collaboration on the state’s new cardiac centre.
The delegation, led by Dr Abdurrahman Huwarai, briefed the Commissioner for Health, Hajiya Umma Ahmedon the purpose of their visit, which centred on assessing progress at the state-of-the-art cardiac hospital currently under construction and reinforcing the organisation’s partnership with the Kaduna State Government.
Huwarai noted that the facility, now 60% equipped, is designed to position Kaduna as a leading hub for advanced cardiac care in Nigeria.
He further highlighted the wide range of life-saving interventions the centre will provide upon completion, emphasising its potential to significantly reduce the burden of heart-related diseases across Kaduna State and the wider region.
