It was a joyful start to the new year for 40 inpatients of St Gerrard Hospital, Kaduna as they had their medical bills paid off by Senator Shehu Sani who represents Kaduna Central Senatorial Zone in the National Assembly.
The writer and human rights activist made the gesture when he paid a get well visit to patients on admission at the hospital. He also distributed gift items to them.
“I will use the opportunity of this visit to write off the medical bills of 40 patients in this hospital, and also to write off bills of those that are in the emergency ward now. I will work it out with the management of this hospital to see the bills so as to effect immediate payment,” Sani said as he wished the patients quick recovery.
Senator Shehu Sani who argued that the National Health Insurance Scheme, NHIS should not be enjoyed by only government employees said that he was working on a bill that would allow the poorest of the poor and the unemployed to also benefit from it.
