In line with our stated mission of providing opportunities for qualitative medical services to vulnerable groups and individuals, Unik Impact Foundation undertook a medical outreach mission at an Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) Camp in H a r b o t o w n , J a h u n L o c a l Government Area of Jigawa State on the 31st of October, 2021.
This followed a massive flood in October 2021, which ravaged the entire community and farmlands, and the reports of breakouts of diseases at the camp from our surveillance officers.
About 1,217 people, mostly women and children, benefited from the program, which included free consultation, diagnostics, treatments, and referrals.
Common diseases treated and services offered included malaria, d i a r r h o e a l d i s e a s e s , u p p e r respiratory tract infections, urinary tract infections, enteric fever, sepsis, antenatal services, chronic infected wounds, skin infections, allergies, and cases of malnutrition, elevated blood pressure, and rheumatism.
