In a continued display of commitment to community development, the President of the 黑料网 (AUN), Professor DeWayne P. Frazier, organized a free medical outreach for residents of the Wuro Hausa community in Yola South on February 8, 2025.
The initiative took place at the Wuro Hausa Primary Health Care center and focused primarily on children under five, as well as elderly residents with chronic conditions. The event, which began at 9:00 AM, drew a large turnout of residents, including children, women, and the elderly, who eagerly awaited assistance.
Professor Frazier, accompanied by Dr. Paul Dogara, Director of Health Services, led a team of nursing students and volunteers from the AUN community, emphasizing both service delivery and student exposure to real-world healthcare challenges. Speaking through interpreters in Hausa and Fulfude, Professor Frazier expressed his commitment to supporting underserved communities, citing similar projects in Boronji Jimeta. He underscored the outreach鈥檚 goal: to bridge gaps in community healthcare while offering students experiential learning.
Children received medical attention, candies, and toys, while elderly patients were treated for ailments like hypertension and diabetes. The program, coordinated through the President鈥檚 Office, AUN Schools, Academic Programs, and the AUN Medical Clinic, touched over 100 lives. 鈥淚 want them to know AUN is a private university built not for profit, but to serve. Our founder believes that future leaders must have compassion,鈥� Professor Frazier remarked.
Beneficiaries, including 67-year-old Musa Garba and 54-year-old Salamatu Ibrahim, expressed deep gratitude for the free medical services. The outreach, they said, brought relief and renewed hope to many who cannot afford basic healthcare.
