The visit to the facility, located along Galadima Aminu Way, underscored the Diocese’s sustained commitment to healthcare support and care for vulnerable groups in Adamawa State.
During the engagement, Bishop Mamza interacted with medical staff and patients, offering encouragement and prayers while reaffirming the Church’s solidarity with the sick and physically challenged. The visit also served to strengthen collaboration between the Diocese and healthcare providers in the region.
The Bishop was received by a consultant at the hospital, Dr. Fashe, who commended the Diocese for its continued advocacy and assistance to patients in need.
A key highlight of the visit was the formal presentation of a consignment of wheelchairs aimed at improving mobility and access to rehabilitation services for patients. The donation was facilitated through the Knights of Columbus, an international Catholic charitable organisation.
The gesture forms part of the Global Wheelchair Mission, a humanitarian initiative involving the Knights of Columbus, the American Wheelchair Mission and the Canadian Wheelchair Foundation. Since its inception in 2003, the programme has distributed over 100,000 wheelchairs globally to children, adults living with disabilities, the elderly and other vulnerable populations.
Healthcare providers at the facility said the donation would significantly enhance patient care and boost the hospital’s capacity to serve underserved communities across the state.
Bishop Mamza noted that the outreach reflects the Church’s enduring commitment to promoting human dignity, expanding access to healthcare and providing practical support to those in need.
The visit marks another milestone in the Diocese’s faith-driven humanitarian efforts aimed at improving lives and restoring hope among vulnerable groups.
