Jalingo: The Taraba State Emergency Management Agency (SEMA) has commended the Open Hands Amazing Charitable Organisation for providing medical items to Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) across the state. Open Hands is a humanitarian group based in New York.
According to News Agency of Nigeria, the commendation is contained in an appreciation letter by its Executive Secretary, Dr Echuseh Audu, made available to newsmen on Saturday in Jalingo. The agency noted that the intervention by the organisation came at a critical time when displaced families faced a shortage of medical supplies.
The agency emphasized that the donation will significantly enhance healthcare delivery in IDP camps as well as host communities, ensuring that vulnerable children, women, and the elderly receive timely treatment. ‘The organisation’s support is a demonstration of compassion and global responsibility; SEMA values the growing partnership and looks forward to continued collaboration aimed at restoring hope and dignity to affected population,’ Dr Audu stated.
The medical items were provided through the efforts of the Executive Director of the organisation, Dr Magdalene Agada, and were presented on her behalf by Mr Gabriel Olayinka. He reaffirmed the organisation’s commitment to strengthening healthcare systems in communities grappling with humanitarian crises.
Meanwhile, the organisation commended the state government for partnering with global organisations in this regard and thanked SEMA for its humanitarian efforts.
