The donation exercise began at Bamaiyi Hospital, where Bishop Mamza was warmly received by the hospital’s medical director, Dr. Peter Thomas, alongside other members of staff.
The Bishop commended the hospital for its tireless efforts in providing healthcare services to communities despite limited resources.
He explained that his decision to support both hospitals was inspired by the selfless work being carried out by the management and staff in serving humanity.
According to Bishop Mamza, the gesture, though modest, was borne out of his deep concern for the health and well-being of people, especially the less privileged who often struggle to access medical care.
“It is my sincere hope and prayer that these wheelchairs and surgical goggles will be used judiciously to save lives and protect those who dedicate themselves to this noble profession,” the Bishop said.
He further appealed to individuals, government, and organizations to extend similar support to health facilities whenever possible, stressing that such contributions go a long way in strengthening healthcare delivery.
The Bishop also took time to laud the doctors, nurses, and supporting staff of both New Boshong and Bamaiyi hospitals. He described their work as selfless, sacrificial, and noble, particularly given the many challenges healthcare workers face in rural and semi-urban areas.
He prayed for God’s blessings and divine reward for their dedication, noting that their sacrifices contribute significantly to the well-being of the state and beyond.
At the New Boshong Clinic, where the Bishop presented the wheelchairs, the staff received the donation with immense joy.
The medical director of the clinic, Dr. Cyril Jomusu, spoke on behalf of the management and staff, expressing profound appreciation to Bishop Mamza and the Catholic Diocese of Yola for their benevolence.
Dr. Jomusu acknowledged that it was rare for private health facilities to be remembered in such acts of charity, noting that the Bishop’s gesture was a powerful reminder that healthcare is a collective responsibility.
He assured the donor and the wider community that the wheelchairs would be put to proper use, serving patients in need irrespective of their background, religion, or ethnicity.
“The items donated will be judiciously utilized for the benefit of mankind. As a clinic, we attend to patients from all walks of life, and this support will strengthen our capacity to do so more effectively,” Dr. Jomusu remarked.
He further pledged that the staff would remain committed to uphold the values of compassion, inclusivity, and professionalism in their service to humanity.
