Dutse, Sept. 29, 2017 (NAN) A Philanthropist, who pleaded to remain anonymous, has donated 30 mattresses to Babura General Hospital, in Babura Local Government Area of Jigawa.
Speaking with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Friday in Dutse, the donor said she donated the items to the maternity ward of the hospital in order to ameliorate the sufferings of expectant mothers, especially from rural areas.
According to her, the gesture will promote safe motherhood and safe delivery among mothers in the area.
“I just did it for the sake of Allah. I have given such donations secretly, not because of anyone but Allah.
“And it is only from Allah that I expect my reward in the hereafter, so please don’t mention my name.
“And I also hope that the gesture will encourage rural women to patronise health facilities for antenatal and post-natal care,” the donor said.
She expressed optimism that the facility would ensure better utilisation of the items.
The Director, Clinical Services of the hospital, Dr Dahiru Sani, commended the gesture and other wealthy individuals to emulate the donor. (NAN)
