She made donations at the emergency unit, pediatric unit, female surgical ward, male ward, and all other wards of the hospital.

The speaker’s wife said she had been empowering people living with sickle cell disease through a non-governmental organisation called the Aliyu Abbas Tajudeen Foundation.
She said she lost her son to sickle cell disease six years ago and is willing to give back to the community in any way she could.
She said she recently launched the Husseina Abbas Foundation for Hope and Empowerment, and it is targeted at empowering the less privileged and orphans.
Alice Eya, mother of one of the beneficiaries, said the donation would go a long way in supporting her son’s treatment.
The Medical Director of the Wuse District Hospital, Dr Sa’ad Abubakar, who was represented by the chief nursing officer, Lucy James Balami, thanked the wife of the speaker for extending her hand of fellowship to the sick people in the hospital.
