Dogara Settles Patients’ N3.76m Bills at ATBTH

Speaker of the House of Representatives, Mr. Yakubu Dogara, on Friday paid N3.76m towards the settlement of bills of patients at the Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University Teaching Hospital, Bauchi.

He paid N1.26m for five patients with critical issues; while he paid another N2.5m to cover the bills of other patients.

Out of the critical cases, N500,000 was paid for a cancer patient, N300,000 for an orthopaedic case, N200,000 each for a policeman with gunshot injury, and N60,000 for a man with renal problem.

Dogara did this during a visit to the hospital, saying he was there to assess the quality of facilities and to assist indigent patients.

He said the settlement of the bills was with the assistance of some his colleagues, who had expressed concerns for the needy patients.
